S(  BFS Safety Package
Tools to help you avoid and win weight room lawsuits

During the past decade BFS President Dr. Greg Shepard has been an expert witness in 10 lawsuits involving injuries that occurred in the weight room. These lawsuits were directed primarily against coaches, teachers and schools. According to Coach Shepard, every one of these lawsuits could have been avoided by implementing a proper safety program, thereby saving thousands of dollars in legal fees and awards.
