Good spaces start
with good information.

• Singles playing space: 9.75 × 6.40 m; reference clear height: 5.64 m.
• These dimensions are cross-checked against Sport England’s April 2011 reference, not a newly issued WSF document. Confirm current WSF specifications and event requirements before design approval.
• Allow separately for wall construction, structure, viewing, circulation and services.

• US Squash directs readers to WSF court specifications for the international game.
• Use the complete specification for tolerances, markings, playing surfaces and court interfaces. A supplier’s drawing or product label is not a substitute.

• WSO publishes the September 2025 World Squash singles rules.
• Safety comes first. The rules address interference, turning and dangerous play; coaches and players should use the full text rather than a short venue summary.

• WSF recommends suitable protective eyewear during play and warm-up.
• It is mandatory in WSF-sanctioned junior and doubles events. Check the applicable event rules and accepted eyewear standards; ordinary spectacles are not a verified substitute.

• Identify hazards, assess who could be harmed, select controls, record actions and review them.
• Include normal use, cleaning, maintenance, visitors and changes to the layout.
• HSE guidance is UK-based. Apply the requirements of your own jurisdiction with competent local advice.

Editorial review: 18 September 2026

• HSE distinguishes simple pre-use checks from more detailed inspections where deterioration can create danger.
• Set the scope and frequency using risk, use conditions and manufacturer guidance; keep appropriate records.
• UK work-equipment guidance: confirm local applicability.

Editorial review: 18 September 2026

• Choose cleaning methods suitable for the floor and contamination. Manage access until the area is safe.
• A warning sign alone does not stop someone entering a wet area. Report damaged surfaces and control trip hazards.
