We've worked with the RFU and insurers to create an easy-to-use, rugby-specific risk assessment

What does a risk assessment involve? 

All rugby clubs should do regular risk assessments. This demonstrates commitment to the wellbeing of your members, employees and volunteers, and is an excellent way to overcome health and safety problems.

Risk assessment involves identifying all hazards, assessing the risk, and putting in place measures to control unacceptable risks. 

A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm, e.g. a faulty electrical socket. Risk is the likelihood of a hazard causing harm and the degree of harm it could cause, e.g. an electrical shock that could lead to a fatality.

Good risk management involves understanding your risks and having a plan in place to address them. 

Who should be involved?

The people doing your club’s risk assessment should be the people who do the work. So that will include employees and volunteers. This is because they need to know and understand the club’s activities. 

All public and community buildings must also take steps to reduce the risk of fire, including a fire risk assessment. Ask your local fire brigade if you need support with this.
