Editing UK Paintball Sports Federation (section)

== Safety standards and membership ==

The UKPSF publishes a ''Code of Practice for Paintball Site Operators''. The published code carries an original copyright date of October 2000 and records later revisions. It covers staffing, player briefings, protective equipment, equipment maintenance and first aid. The federation also publishes a player code for tournaments and other organised events.[4][10]

The federation offers membership to players, teams, venues and trade businesses. It requires member venues to follow its site code and offers a separate voluntary accreditation scheme. Its constitution provides for a council and specialist subcommittees, including those representing players, sites and the trade. The federation identifies formal sporting recognition as one of its objectives.[1][3][4][11]
