– Stewards / marshalling
– Coping with disability
– Catering
District 1090
H&S management in Rotary is not an option - it is an obligation
RAs - carried out & recorded - perceived risk?
Divide risk assessment for big events into parts
Then:
Carry out the risk control actions that result from the risk assessments and write them down

Risk Assessment Template Six Stages of a Risk Assessment
1. What might cause harm (Hazard)? - visit location 2. Who might be harmed and how? 3. What chance someone might be harmed (Risk)? 4. What precautions taken? Are they adequate? 5. Record findings / retain copies as evidence
6. Review RA as & when necessary - particularly after the event
H, S & P Seminar to Clubs
District 1090
Risk Assessments: short, to the point
real issues understood by all involved cover H&S, Environment,
Safeguarding & Club Business interest If there is an accident, tell the Insurance
brokers, gather the evidence and write it down
Review after the event and regularly to improve the way you do it and write it down

Home | Health & Safety, Protection, Environment | Health and Safety As Rotarians, we can have fun in a responsible way so long as we plan our events sensibly. We all have a duty of care for the Health & Safety of ourselves and others. Furthermore, in order to secure RIBI insurance cover, clubs are required, in the event of a claim, to demonstrate that they have undertaken H&S Risk
Assessments and are managing all H&S aspects of events organised, including Protection, where applicable.
Clubs are increasingly trying new ways to raise funds and / or get involved in the local community. H&S Seminars / Surgeries
for District 1090 Clubs are held regularly to offer Club H&S officers, Committee Chairs and all those involved in H&S in any
way an opportunity to share and learn from each other. Resources to help Clubs plan successful events are now
available through the blue menu bar on the left hand side of this page. These include H&S Policy, Insurance details and
templates for Risk Assessments. Health and Safety presentations given at seminars and other events are added
regularly. H&S and Protection Seminar is also included. Good examples of H&S templates and Risk Assessments of various Club activities will continue to be uploaded on this website for guidance, as and when these become available. Please keep
them coming! Thank you. Download RIBI Health and Safety Policy and
Guidelines November 2013 Latest: Health, Safety & Protection - is it important to
you? Presentation from November 2013 seminars With a change to RIBI Insurance Brokers, please see the latest
forms from new brokers, Bartlett. These are available for download from the Insurance page.
