Providing a safe environment for sport and recreational pursuits is a major challenge for many local governments and sport and recreation organisations.
Risk management is the process of identifying potential risks and acting to reduce, eliminate or avoid them.
Risk management consists of a series of steps including:
- identifying risks
- evaluating the impact the risks may have
- risk treatment
- implementing and reviewing your strategy.
Whether you're a volunteer, a paid administrator, an official, coach, instructor or just someone taking part in sport and recreational activities, it pays to play it safe.
