A Risk Assessment Checklist should be completed before any game (where an umpire or competition official has not been required to complete a risk assessment) and this should become part of the overall risk management culture of your registered league. All clubs competing should take part in the completion of the checklist and two representatives should sign the form once they are satisfied with the conditions.
If the club is responsible for proceeding on game day (i.e. shared common ground), then a club representative may take responsibility for the completion of the form. However, the participating clubs should still review the questions and sign the form to ensure that they are satisfied with the conditions prior to commencement of play.
All clubs should choose a suitable person that will be responsible for this activity (and a backup if he/she is not available).
