What you’ll learn
I can plan a risk assessment to prevent hazards causing injuries within the training programme.
Key learning points
- Move: before starting exercise, checks should be completed for anything that could present as a risk.
- Think: risk management practices keep everyone safe, such as designated areas, rules and limits.
- Feel: creating a risk assessment allows a feeling of safety, comfort and trust in the planned training.
- Connect: prioritising everyone's safety creates a mutually supportive environment where everyone feels secure.
Words to know
- risk
- the possibility of an injury occurring
- hazard
- something that could present as a risk and may cause an injury (e.g. a slippery floor)
- prevention
- stopping or reducing the likelihood of something dangerous happening
Common mistakes
Every risk can be planned for.
There may be some risks that cannot be planned for, so we must be able to dynamically risk assess on an ongoing basis (e.g. the piece of equipment you were planning to use breaks and becomes unfit for purpose).
For parents, carers and teachers
- Consider setting up hazards that are realistic in your teaching spaces and representative of those that your students may come into contact with.
