I have been asked by a friend would I carry out a risk assessment of the small local amateur soccer club facilities. The facilities are relatively modern and include clubhouse, changing rooms, all weather pitches etc. I am going to do this on a voluntary basis. The scope as I see it would include the physical environment and activities associated with club activity e.g. infrastructure, fire, line marking, erecting nets etc, reduction of risk generally and meeting their legal obligations. I have never done anything like this before although I am experienced within industrial settings. Any advice would be appreciated.

Aiden There's the Guide to Safety at Sports Events (green guide). This is most likely overkill in relation to the small, local club you've described. However, it's free to download and some of the chapters might be a helpful prompt for things you should consider, albeit in relation to small grounds opposed to major stadiums. http://www.safetyatsport...ications/green-guide.pdf Sam

Thank you for your practical suggestions
