APPLICATION OF RISK MANAGEMENT The risk management process will apply to the following: a. all areas where the sporting events will be undertaken; b. public risk and general liability risks; c. workplace health and safety risks; d. environmental management. 5. DEFINITIONS Risk The chance of something happening that will have an impact upon objectives. It is measured in terms of consequences and likelihood Residual risk The remaining level of risk after control measures have been taken into account. Risk acceptance An informed decision to accept the consequences and the likelihood of a particular risk. Risk analysis A systematic use of available information to determine how often specified events may occur and the magnitude of their consequences. Risk assessment The overall process of risk analysis and risk evaluation. Risk control That part of risk management which involves the implementation of policies, protocols, standards, procedures and physical changes to eliminate or minimise adverse risks. Risk evaluation The process used to determine risk management priorities by comparing the level of risk against predetermined standards, target risk levels or other criteria. Risk identification The process of determining what can happen, why and how. Risk management The culture, processes and structures that are directed towards the effective management of potential opportunities and adverse effects. Risk management process The systematic application of policies, procedures and practices to assist in ensuring that all risks identified are managed correctly at all levels, from the planning stage to the eventual completion of the carnival. 4 6. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this risk management plan are to promote effective risk management practices and processes before the event commences, and to ensure these practices are carried out for the duration of the event. These objectives will be met by: a. using the Curriculum Activity Risk Assessments (CARA’s) that have been authorised by the Department of Education and Training, and the general risk assessment prepared for external venues for both Rugby League and Netball; b. ensuring there are appropriate First Aid and Medical facilities located where the Rugby league games are being played; c. integrate the management of risk across all areas where the events are being held; d. raise the profile of risk management at all levels, including players, volunteer’s, staff members and the visitors to the event; e. maintaining and where possible improve community confidence and trust. 7. RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS The main elements of the risk management process are the following: 7.1 Establish the Context Establish the risk management context in which the rest of the process will take place. Criteria against which risk will be evaluated should be established and the structure of the analysis defined. 7.2 Identify Risks Identify what, why and how things can arise as the basis for further analysis. 7.3 Analyse Risks Determine the existing controls and analyse risks in terms of consequence and likelihood in the context of those controls. The analysis should consider the range of potential consequences and how likely those consequences are to occur. 7.4 Evaluate Risks Compare the levels of risk against the pre-established criteria. This enables risks to be ranked so as to identify management priorities. 7.5 Control Risks Develop controls that can be implemented to assist in preventing the risks from affecting all involved. 7.6 Monitor and Review Monitor and review the performance of the risk management plan and associated risk assessments, to ensure the controls implemented are still effective. 7.7 Communicate and Consultation Communicate and consult with internal and external stakeholders as appropriate throughout the life of the event. 5 8. ROLES & ACCOUNTABILITIES 8.1 All personnel Generally All personnel are responsible for managing the risks associated with activities regardless of where an event is being held.
