Nothing is more precious to us than the well-being of our members. We implore you to think about what you are doing and ensure that it makes sense; and if it does involve a measure of risk, that you work a way to do it smarter. The most dangerous justification is that 'we have always done it this way'; sometimes there's a good reason - often not. 

​

The club safety officer's job is to keep an eye out across all our activities to ensure that we remain safe; however, he cannot do this alone. All of you - especially those new to the club - are to keep an eye out for those hazards/ activities that place our members at undue risk and  share your concerns with those around you, coaches or team leaders

​

Know your own skills and limitations, and of those in your care.

At the heart of a safety system is culture, and a safe organisation is open and ready to learn from mistakes. James Reason's Swiss Cheese construct is an academic, yet simple, model with which to support a learning safety culture. Learn more about this model.
