The WSUSWA risk management philosophy requires a specific Event Risk Management Plan (ERMP) to be developed to address the unique risks for the surfing event and requires full stakeholder participation to ensure all foreseeable risks are identified, evaluated and appropriately managed. Importantly the WSUSWA approach brings together the various risk based disciplines of health and safety, security and emergency management, environmental, operational and project management, information management and compliance, along with risk financing, into a comprehensive risk management system to address all threats that have potential to impact upon the strategic goals and operational objectives of an action sports game event. These principles have been applied to the development of the ERMP for the Margaret River Pro Surfing event in 2017 as part of the WSUSWA strategy for managing risks associated with the MRPro 2017 program of events, The WSUSWA approach ensures a - clear focus on safety and security of the Margaret River community and public, the staff and volunteers engaged in supporting the event, competitors, visitors to the MRPro 2017 and the event commercial partners (supporters, sponsors and contractors). This focus is underpinned by WSUSWA commitment to achieving higher levels of better practice through improved international surfing event risk management programs. 1:2 MRPro Event profile In understanding the context in which risks for the MRPro 2017 are to be identified, evaluated and managed, the WSL team has adopted a comprehensive event profile to establish the core parameters and characteristics of the MRPro 2017. The event profile provides the basic guide for the development of the WSL risk management strategies and the ERMP for MRPro 2017.
