Dear all,
Can anyone provide or direct me to information regarding boxing risk assessments ? Having recently run an IOSH course one of delegates asked for further info.
He runs a small boxing club non profit and wanted to make sure he was covered.
Any information or templates would be useful.
Kind regards
Joe

It sounds as if he is not "at work" and neither are the boxers. There may be other requirements applicable (e.g. RRFSO, Public liability Insurance etc). There is some useful advice in HSG 192-Charity and Voluntary Workers. A free copy can be downloaded from HSE publications.

He could always try the 'Marquis Queensbury' apparently he wrote some rules, or the ABA.

This may be a 'small not for profit club' but many laws still apply e.g. fire as Fire RA's will be needed; the tax man will be involved and others as noted plus common law and occupiers law fits in
The people training need to have good kit to train with etc - so list/evaluate all areas and RA from there on in - His insurers will be able to help

Extremities out side the boxing ring put aside and just for fun(!), how on earth would you RA a full on pukka boxing match when the intention IS to create harm to your opponent instead of preventing it? And don't let the DM get hold of this thread or there'll be 'IOSH looks to ban boxing!'

Thank you all for your replys.
I really liked the one suggesting 'google' !!! Rich 777
I was hoping for examples related to first aid assessment and any specialist areas I had not thought of.
Badger I am not trying to ban boxing so don't think the headlines are needed yet.
Thanks everyone I think the answer is to speak to professional boxing associations.
Cheers
Joe

I think you are on the right lines Joe. I run a sports club, also not for profit. We cover ourselves by having done the following:
- we are affiliated to the Sport's National Governing Body
- the coaches are accredited by the National Governing Body
- the matting we use is to the required standards and the numbers on the mat are within the guidelines as regards mat area and number of helpers available
- we stick to the principles that we have been taught!
- we make sure that the members join the National Governing Body.
- we ensure that the behaviour of the members towards one another is within sensible bounds
- we make reasonable provisions for contingencies, such as qualifications in first aid and first aid supplies, keeping essential contact details of the members' parents.
We are confident that, in the event of an accident, we will be able to show that we have acted within the parameters laid down by the governing body.
