Rank: Guest		Posted By MarkS Is the damage to Waynes toe Riddor reportable ? If it is, what should the club do in order to prevent similar injuries occurring again ? Are clubs exempt from the statutory duties placed upon the rest of industry or have players opted out of the protection afforded by the law ?

Rank: Guest		Posted By Andrew Longhurst I am just trying to picture the risk assessment for a match in the World Cup including players and match officials, the game itself - how do you assess the offside rule - and particularly the manager ....

Rank: Guest		Posted By MarkS Merv Yes I think so, linked to poorly designed PPE according to some industry experts. Do they fit test I wonder..

Rank: Guest		Posted By Fornhelper Judging by the reaction of the newspapers and the BBC (or should that be EBC !!!) it seems that it's the only thing that's reportable !!! On the positive side the risk of 'Engurlund' winning the World Cup has now been lowered so us Gaels and Celts can perhaps relax a little and cancel immigration plans should the unthinkable happen :) FH

Rank: Guest		Posted By Lilian McCartney A doctor on tv this morning said that the style of football boots worn now don't offer the same protection as previously. That, apparently is why this type of injury is more common now than before. I expect it's like golf caddies who carry the golf bag when they could use a trolley. Any HSE Inspector out there wishing to investigate this?

Rank: Guest		Posted By Arran Linton - Smith Lillian, I think that initially any investigation would come under the local authority for that area and not the HSE, however I suspect the FA are now taking an interest in this common type of football injury.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Andrew Longhurst On a serious note, what, if any, implications are there for schools, colleges, sports centres, amateur football clubs if the shoews are found to be at fault? Do all these institutions have to then carry a risk assessment on all the kit worn by participants and what would the financial burden be of compliance?

Rank: Guest		Posted By MarkS Frivolity aside, I think that there is probably some faint sort of Volenti Non Fit Injuria defence in any civil case arising from sporting injury, but don't the clubs have statutory responsibilities to report these events and deal with them under the law just as the rest of us do?. How do the enforcing authorities deal with these issues?. There must be someone out there who knows.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Brian Hagyard The guidance on RIDDOR excludes injuries suffers by professional sportspersons as a result of heavy physical contact during the normal course of a game (pages 6 and 7 Paragraphs 11 & 12 – L27 Guide to RIDDOR 1995). So Wayne’s Toe is not reportable to the LA. However if as some people have suggested these types of injury are due to the shoe design are the designer/manufacturer breaching section 6 HASAW 1974, which is enforced by HSE? Will they investigate? What do you think! Brian
