Basketball England Risk Assessment

RISK ASSESSMENTS
 A Risk Assessment identifies hazards that may cause harm and then identifies the control measures that will reduce the risk to acceptable
levels.
 Risk Assessments are a legal requirement and should be recorded and reviewed
 Risk Assessments illustrate good practice forethought planning and collective expertise. They are most effective when discussed with
colleagues before writing and during recording.
 The Event Manager (Person with overall responsibility) should then ensure that those Risk Assessments are appropriate, or should make any
necessary additions or changes. The dated signature by the Event Manager confirms that all staff/adults on the visit have read, understood
and adopted the written Risk Assessment.
 Suitable briefings must be given for the 6 key areas below to all relevant people.
The Risk Assessment process must be seen as ‘on-going’ and ‘dynamic’.

In other words, professional judgements and decisions regarding safety will need to be made during the activity. If the
control measures aren’t sufficient, the activity must not proceed.
There are 6 Key areas are identified where potential hazards may occur.
1. Type of Group 3. Equipment 5. Travel

2. Staffing 4. Venue/Environment 6. Emergency Procedures
These are the areas that must be reviewed before final approval is granted.
All visits have potential hazards and risk to staff and participants, therefore the control measures identified should be sufficient to reduce the risk
to acceptable levels. If the control measures aren’t sufficient, consideration must be given to absolute ‘cut off criteria’ and the activity must not
proceed. In addition there must always be an alternative activity (Plan B), prepared and risk assessed. The control measures identified on a form
are the written evidence that the six key areas above have been considered.
