Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 is the primary piece of legislation governing workplace health and safety in Great Britain. There are also main pieces of regulation which are integral to managing health and safety at work. The implementation of these regulations does not have to be a daunting, time consuming or costly affair. Follow our guide to workplace health and safety legislation in the UK for a summary of the key policies and procedures and understand what you need to do to keep your work environment healthy, safe and compliant.

brief overview, the HASAWA 1974 requires that workplaces provide:

Adequate training of staff to ensure health and safety procedures are understood and adhered to

Adequate welfare provisions for staff at work

A safe working environment that is properly maintained and where operations within it are conducted safely

Suitable provision of relevant information, instruction and supervision

For workplaces with five or more employees, employers must keep a written record of their health and safety policy, as well as consult with employees (or employee representatives) on relevant policies and associated health and safety arrangements.

Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992

The health, safety and welfare (HSW) regulations apply to all aspects of the working environment and require employers to provide a workplace that is not only safe but also suitable for the duties that are being carried out within it.

This ranges from provisions for the comfort and sanitation of employees (e.g. break areas, washing facilities, drinking water etc.) to provisions for appropriate working environments (e.g. room dimensions, lighting and ventilation etc.) and provisions for safety in the workplace (e.g. appropriate maintenance of equipment, properly maintained walking routes and floor spaces, protection from falling objects etc.).

For a full breakdown of the duties and requirements, refer to the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulation itself. The HSE also has a downloadable Code of Practice for further guidance.

disclosing barring service

# data[].attributes.body
Safeguarding in sport is the process of protecting children and adults from harm by providing a safe space in which to play sport and be active

# data[].attributes.body
Another way is if you have not already, apply or complete a disclosure and barring service check. One positive of coaches having this is because it can give parents piece of mind that their child is not working with a criminal, however having a DBS (Disclosure Barring Service) check does not stop people from doing things after being given it and cannot check for things you have not been prosecuted for. An example of a coach using their position to take advantage of people is Mark McAuley, Celtic academy youth coach is facing charges for sexual abuse. This is an example of where a DBS check is not enough, it is extremely hard to monitor. One way this could be prevented is better surveillance and club rules, for example, no coach is allowed to be alone with participants, this eliminates false claims and stops serious sexual assault from happening. However, this could cause more trauma if both coaches were too be predators.

Coaches must uphold to the data protection legislation, which states that clubs must ensure that any third parties engaged in processing an individual from you clubs personal data, must be seen in the eyes of the law as a data processor and also must comply with the law. This helps to protect personal data and keeps it private as it can only be accessible by the appropriate authority. However, the people accessing it could use it in an inappropriate way even if they are seen by the authority as safe to interact with the data. When handling a participant's personal data such as personal background and health, they must follow this legislation to ensure that you are protected. Data protection also helps the prevention of radicalisation, for example, if the wrong person were to get hold of a younger, more impressionable participant they could be more likely to be radicalised resulting in a quite traumatic experience because their personal data was not looked after correctly.

The “Regulation” means the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 06 April 2016. The Regulation replaces the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and is designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe for the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data. Where appropriate, terms used in this statement shall have meanings ascribed to them in the Regulation.

In the event that either party (the “Receiving Party”), its agents, contractors or employees are permitted access to personal data held by the other party for any reason or are supplied with or otherwise provided personal data by the other party for any purpose, the Receiving Party, its agents, contractors or employees shall: (i) use and/or hold such personal data only for the purposes and in the manner directed by the other party and shall not otherwise modify, amend or alter the contents of such personal data unless specifically authorized in writing by the other party and shall take all such steps as may be necessary to safeguard such personal data; (ii) comply in all respects with the Regulation as well as local applicable law and shall not do or permit anything to be done which might jeopardize or contravene the terms of the other party’s notification under the Regulation or local applicable law; (iii) indemnify the other party against all liability, damages, costs, claims and expense which it may incur by reason of any default under this clause or any breach of the Regulation or local applicable law attributable to or caused, directly or indirectly, by Receiving Party, its employees, agents or contractors, including without limitation, the failure to prevent

This impacts coaches by having to keep a up to date DBS. Every three years they need to complete a new one and if any criminal convictions take place, it will be updated. So any new employer or current can look at it and depending on the severity of the crime decide if they want to still/start to employ them.

Data protection also helps the prevention of radicalisation, for example, if the wrong person were to get hold of a younger, more impressionable participant they could be more likely to be radicalised resulting in a quite traumatic experience because their personal data was not looked after correctly.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important that coaches follow RIDDOR because if a participant gets injured in football the football coach will have to follow first aid procedures and help him and later on he will have to fill in a report. If the coach does not fill in the report and the participant goes to hospital and something bad happens and the coach hasn’t done a report than the club could be in trouble as there is no proof and evidence. Which could lead to court or even time away.
