Harmony seekers

• view themselves and conduct their lives as primarily part of the broader society. They are likely to be second or third generation, and have little or no experience of their family’s country of origin. They tend to believe that sport is, and should be, for anyone who enjoys it, and they tend to engage in ethnically integrated sporting activities.

Why is it important to do a risk assessment on your environment before you

start any activities

Risk Assessment means taking a systematic

approach to looking at what could cause harm to

people.

By assessing risk, you know where potential problems and dangers lie, and can,

therefore, take measures to prevent them.

To ensure the safety of clients

How would you go about doing the risk

assessment

The first step is to isolate an activity and identify who and what

would be involved.

From this you can then create a list of risks and

hazards.

It helps to involve the people actually engaged in, or

experienced in the particular activity.

One way to do this is to produce a table.

Activity Hazard

Swimming carnival depth of water, slippery surfaces, drowning, sunburn

Wake boarding drowning, dangerous objects, damaged safety equipment

Touch football uneven playing surface, bad weather, high temperature

Basketball water on court, over-heating of player

Visit to the gymnasium lack of orientation on how to use equipment safely leading to injury

Anti-social side line behaviour from spectators

In threatening situation you may be able to approach the offender and inform them on appropriate crowd behaviour

If you have crowd security they may be able to do this

for you

If the behaviour becomes too aggressive call the police.

What would you do to distinguish the

situation now and for the future

Provide information on crowd ethics and

behaviours. This can be done through media,

This can be done through media,

newsletters, meeting and poster.

Apply first aid

Call an ambulance.

client injured their ankle
