What is this unit all about?

This unit will give you a good understanding of a range of health and safety issues connected to sport and help you put measures in place to help people taking part in sport

avoid injury.

It also looks at the type of things that can cause injury and some of the rules that are in place to try and prevent

them.

You will look at the types of injury that can occur in sport and will have to show that you can deal with them in the

correct manner.

Page 3: UNIT 2 HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY IN SPORT

Making sense of the Pass Criteria!

The key verbs you need to know to achieve the pass criteria are

Describe – ‘paint a picture in words’Deal with – ‘take control of and take

action’Complete – ‘start and finish a task’

Page 4: UNIT 2 HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY IN SPORT

Pass 1……

Describe 6 risks and hazards associated

with sports participation

• Hazard = something that can cause harm or injury - like an icy football pitch

• Risk = the likelihood that the hazard will actually occur – this could be a high chance or a low chance maybe

Page 5: UNIT 2 HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY IN SPORT

Pass 1…..have a go!

Have a go at this introductory activity tohelp your understanding of P1. Don’tworry - it’s a gentle introduction to risksand hazards!

Page 6: UNIT 2 HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY IN SPORT

Pass 1……some really important information!

Hazards and risks can include (and be affected by) some of the following:

People Equipment Environment

•Poor or no warm-up•Poor levels of fitness•Participants eating or drinking (alcohol) before playing•Poor technique or over training•Poor behaviour of other players etc.

•Inappropriate clothing•Lack of protective clothing or equipment•Playing surface•Faulty or damaged equipment

•Cold weather i.e. snow or icy pitch•Wet weather i.e. flooding, muddy pitch, lightening•Hot weather i.e. sunstroke,dehydration

Page 7: UNIT 2 HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY IN SPORT

Pass 1……

Once you are able to identify potential hazards andrisks with sports participation you then need to be ableto describe them – remembering a description ‘paints

apicture in words’

Have a look at the attached examples soyou can see the amount of detail you needto go into

RISKS AND HAZARDS IN SPORT - example answer 1.doc

Page 8: UNIT 2 HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY IN SPORT

Pass 1…with a bit of Pass 6 as well!

One of the best ways to prevent accidents occurring insport is to complete a RISK ASSESSMENT – aDocument that in a nutshell:

• Identifies hazards• Identifies who can be harmed by the hazard• Identifies the risk associated with the hazard• Identifies steps that can be taken or put in place to remove the

hazard or reduce the chance of it occurring

• Click onto the links below to look at a couple of example risk assessments

Pass 6…..go on, have a go!

A bit of practice completing a risk assessment form would

not go amiss…..so have a go at completing the attached

form for a sport of your choice. Don’t be afraid of making a

mistake or two – now is the time to do it!!

A bit more learning (for those up to it)!

THE RUGBY SCRUMThe rugby scrum can be a dangerous place. Have a look at the video link……

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/rules_and_equipment/7362575.stm …..and then have a go at the following crossword (general injury crossword)

RISK ASSESSMENT EXAMPLE – THE RUGBY SCRUM

Many injuries can be prevented if a risk assessment is carried out before a game or

training. Doing this will:

• Identify what can cause injury i.e. the scrum• Identify who may be injured i.e. the forwards, especially the front-row• Identify how serious the injury may be i.e. serious as paralysis can occur• Identify how likely the hazard is to occur i.e. very likely

All the above will allow you to do the most important thing – PUT IN PLACEMEASURES TO ENSURE INJURIES DO NOT OCCUR, OR ARE LESS LIKELY TOOCCUR, SUCH AS:

• Make sure the players are trained in how to scrummage correctly• Make sure the referee stops the game if the scrummage is not formed

properly or foul tactics are being used

Page 12: UNIT 2 HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY IN SPORT

Last bit on P1….with some useful information for P2

thrown in!To move onto the merit criteria you will be assessed on your ability to describe

and explain risks and hazards associated with sport….so the attached

example will give you an idea of the type of response you will need to give –

but don’t just copy it when it comes to your assessment!

Your ability to describe is probably now pretty sound, but the example

may help you develop your skill in explaining

OK……are you ready?Right, after the work you have done so far, you should be ready

to tackle the first Assessment Activity in this unit.

Click on the link to have a look Assess 1 of 5.doc and remember:

A description requires you to ‘paint a picture in words’

An explanation requires you to ‘ give reasons why’

If you remember the above P1 and M1 should give you no problem at

all!

Page 14: UNIT 2 HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY IN SPORT

Do you remember this?

Have a look at the attached article….it is a summary of

the recent injury suffered by Arsenal’s Eduardo in the match v Birmingham City...\..\..\Website\Newspaper links~articles\Feb 08\Taylor & Eduardo - Feb 08.doc

Having read it think about the followingquestions…..

Q) Could a risk assessment have prevented this??

Q) If so, what preventative measures could have been put in place?

Page 15: UNIT 2 HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY IN SPORT

Pass 6…….!!

We have been jumping about a bit but hopefully you are

keeping up! Pass 6 requires you to:

Complete a risk assessment relevant to sport

Examples and information on risk assessments has been covered on

previous slides…..so I am pretty confident you can attempt the second Assessment Activity in this unit!!

A look at Pass 3 Pass 3 requires you to describe 4 different types of

injuries Associated with sports participation and their

underlying causes

You therefore need to know that injuries can be caused by:

• Intrinsic ‘things’ – to do with your body

or……

• Extrinsic ‘things’ – outside of your body

Page 22: UNIT 2 HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY IN SPORT

Intrinsic reasons (or those that are to do with your

body)!!Examples could be…….

• Muscle weakness or imbalance

• Being overweight

• A previous injury causing a weakness

• Limited flexibility

Page 23: UNIT 2 HEALTH, SAFETY & INJURY IN SPORT

Extrinsic reasons (or those that are outside your

body)!! Examples could be….

• Not warming up properly

• Wrong equipment

• Poor technique

• Excessive weight or load…..
