Unit 3: Assessing Risk in Sport
Be able to carry out risk assessment
Key Terms:
Hazard- something with the potential to cause harm.
Risk- the likelihood and severity of the harm that could occur
as a result of the hazard.

What is a risk assessment?
• A risk assessment is a careful
examination of what could cause harm
to people in the workplace.
• Carrying out a risk assessment will help
employers identify the significant risks
in their workplace, and avoid wasted
effort by effectively targeting these to
avoid accidents occurring.

Aims
• The overall aim of risk assessments are
to prevent accidents and injuries
occurring- maintaining the health and
safety of all participants.

5 Steps to Risk Assessment:
1. Identify the hazards
2. Decide who may be harmed and how
3. Evaluate the risks and decide on
preventative measures
4. Record your findings and implement them
5. Review your assessment and update if
necessary

Eliminating hazards
• If you are aware of a hazard then you
are responsible for eliminating it.
• Some hazards are more obvious than
other e.g. a wet floor in the gym
• Other hazards are not as obvious e.g. a
loose collar on the bar with free
weights.

Minimising hazards
• A trampoline can be viewed as a
hazard.
• Putting a novice on the trampoline
supervised by someone without the
relevant coaching qualifications would
increase the likelihood of an injury
occurring whereas providing
precautions would surely minimise the
risk of an accident occurring.

Protect participants from harm
• This can be achieved by simply
following the correct risk assessment
process.
• Many risk assessments can be adapted
by employers accordingly to the sports
environment.

Objectives
1. Identifying hazards
2. Identify those at risk
3. Assess the chance of that hazard
causing harm- grading the risk.

1- Identifying hazards
• It is vital that we understand areas
where hazards are likely to occur and
prevent these by improving safety
awareness e.g. wet floor signs, line up
outside the door in a single file.

2- Identify those at risk
• Consider how many people may be at
risk and how potential accidents could
happen.
• Some risk assessments take numbers
into consideration.

3- Assess the chance of a hazard causing
harm (grading risks)
• This process develops the degree of risk
that is perceived.
• It involves studying a potential hazard
and attempting to foresee a risk that
could occur.
• Numerical scores are often used 1-10 or
as low, medium, high.
DE LA SALLE HIGHT SCHOOL
11
Risk Controls
• This process involves acting on any risk
that have been identified as being high
and acting on them by putting
preventative measures in place.

Do not do the activity• The risk is too high- waterlogged pitch.
Poor conditions may lead to a serious
injury.
DE LA SALLE HIGHT SCHOOL
13
Modify the activity• Moving the activity to a safer area- from
the waterlogged pitch to the 3G pitch.
DE LA SALLE HIGHT SCHOOL
14
Protect the participants from the hazard-
• Hazard identifications- action needs to
be taken immediately.
• E.g. If a light is not working in an area
of the sports hall, that area should not
be used.

15
Provide appropriate safety equipment-
• Hockey• The goalkeeper has the hazard of the
hard ball hitting them.
• He/she needs the correct protective
equipment.
DE LA SALLE HIGHT SCHOOL
16
Provide appropriate training• Regular staff training and reviewing risk
assessments are all part of the risk
assessment process.
• Changes in conditions may affect risks,
these must be communicated to those
affected.
DE LA SALLE HIGHT SCHOOL
17
Appropriate supervisions for participants-
• Supervision of field trips- guidelines on
the ratio of leaders to participants.
• This ratio depends on age, ability,
number and the nature and location of
the activity.
• E.g. employing more lifeguards if more
people use a swimming pool.

Conducting Risk Assessments:
• When conducting risk assessment forms
it is imperative that you provide as
much details as possible.
• Why?

Hazard- What is the hazard?
Risk- What is the risk and who is the risk?
Scoring the riskLikelihood of harm (0-10)
Severity of harm (0-10)
Overall risk (low/medium/high)
Control measures- What can/has been done
to reduce/eliminate the risk?

Grading tips
• P3- Demonstrate an understanding of the
differences between hazards and risks (tutor
support).
• M2- Pupil/s demonstrate confidence while
completing their risk assessments
independently.
• In addition to completing individual risk
assessments pupils also submit a short report
in support of their risk assessments reviewing
their control measures and evaluating their
effectiveness.
