WHY RISK MANAGEMENT MATTERS

Effective risk management reduces accidents, protects participants and staff, and plays a major role in controlling insurance premiums. Insurers reward well-managed sports facilities with broader cover, lower excesses and more competitive pricing.

Key Risk Areas Insurers Focus On


  • Participant safety & supervision standards
  • Staff training and instructor qualifications
  • Condition and maintenance of equipment
  • Premises condition, floors, lighting & access
  • Incident reporting and claims history

How to Reduce Accidents & Injury Claims


  • Clear participant induction and safety briefings
  • Appropriate staff-to-participant ratios
  • Routine inspection of equipment and facilities
  • Clear signage for hazards and rules
  • Formal accident and near-miss reporting

Managing Property, Fire & Flood Risks


  • Regular fire risk assessments
  • Maintenance of alarms, sprinklers and extinguishers
  • Flood resilience and drainage planning
  • Electrical inspections and plant servicing
  • Accurate rebuild and contents valuations

How Risk Management Reduces Insurance Premiums


  • Fewer claims and lower loss ratios
  • Access to broader insurer appetite
  • Lower excesses and improved terms
  • Reduced likelihood of exclusions
  • More stable long-term premiums
