Understanding safety management system applicability in community sport
2013, Safety ScienceCitation Excerpt :However, considerable work is required to build the capacity of these organisations to be able to develop and implement meaningful and useful safety management systems to prevent sports injuries in the most common setting in which they occur. The findings of this study can now be used to develop a valid and reliable audit tool to identify the current gaps in safety management systems in community sporting organisations as has already been done in relation to local level sports safety policies and practices (Donaldson et al., 2003). This will then enable appropriate safety management system capacity building interventions to be developed and introduced alongside other corporate governance and management training currently available to community sports administrators.
The policies and practices of sports governing bodies in relation to assessing the safety of sports grounds
2009, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :Sports clubs have only recently been recognised as a potential health promoting setting11,15 and much of the discussion has been centred on the promotion of healthy behaviours11,17–19 rather than adoption of safety measures for injury prevention. With regards to safety, local clubs are more likely to adopt particular safety practices and policies, if there is a state or regional governing body policy or guideline.12,13,19 This present study has explored the current recommendations of a selection of governing sports bodies in relation to assessing ground conditions.
