It may not be the most exciting part of running a society or committee, but it's essential to be aware of the rules and safety regulations. Remember that you're running an organisation which is governed and insured by the Students' Union and you have a legal duty of care to your members.

All Presidents will have electronically signed a 'Society/Committee Agreement' which is attached to the committee details form that you submitted after you were elected. This is confirmation that you've read and agree to the Students' Union's rules and safety regulations. You can read these here
