Risk Management

Risk Management Committment

Gymsports Management is committed to full filling its risk management responsibility by maintaining risk management procedures, policies, risk registers and management plans.

Introduction

Risk management is a corporate and individual responsibility and integrated into all of the organisations governance and activities.

Risk management is the process of identifying hazards that may cause an injury or illness in the workplace and deciding what may happen as a result. Once hazards in the workplace have been identified and the risks assessed, priorities can be set determining what action is to be taken to eliminate or control the risk. 

Risk management is a proactive process that assists with the response to change and facilitates in the continuous improvement of the organization, through the ongoing cycle of identifying, analyzing and evaluating risk.

Definition

• •Risk management is the coordinated activities to direct and control an organisation with regard to risk.
• •Risk is expressed in terms of risk source, potential events their consequences and their likelihood.
• •This process systematically applies management policies, procedures and practices to a set of activities or events. •These practices include the process of identifying, analysing, evaluating, treating, monitoring, recording, reporting and reviewing risk.

Organisation Responsibilities

The Organisation will: 

• identify hazards by conducting regular workplace inspections, reviewing hazard reports and reviewing injury/illness records 
• assess the risk related to the hazard in terms of its potential to do harm 
• identify and implement control measures to eliminate or reduce the risks and 
• monitor and review the effectiveness of the control measures. 

Where necessary, the Organisation will implement a safe work procedure to ensure the risk of the hazard causing harm is controlled. 

Workers Responsibilties

The overall success of our risk management program is very much dependent upon the active participation of workers who will be given the opportunity to express their views and contribute in a timely manner to the resolution of health and safety issues that affect them.  

These views will be valued and taken into consideration by those making decisions. To this end, in addition to your overall health and safety responsibilities, you are responsible for:  

• identifying any hazards that could present a risk to the health and safety of yourself, your colleagues or others and where it is safe to do so, immediately take steps to prevent the hazard from posing a health or safety risk  
• reporting any hazards to management that you may identify and completing the Hazard Report Form 
• actively participating in the risk management program, including workplace inspections, risk assessments using the BrightSafe Risk Assessment tool and the development and review of controls and procedures designed to eliminate or minimise work related risks and 
• actively participate in the defined consultation and issue resolution forums to help to continuously improve our management and control of workplace risks.
