Incident Register
What is an incident register?
An incident register is a document used to record a summary of incidents that have occurred on our club premises or at club activities.
Why do we need an incident register?
Maintaining an incident register gives us a better understanding of events that may affect the safety of our members. It is also a valuable work, health and safety tool, a way to help our club identify risks occurring over time and can help to develop strategies to reduce the risk of alcohol-related violence and anti-social behaviour.
Such examples include:
An intoxicated person refusing to leave the club premises.
A player/s getting injured that required medical attention
A patron assaulting another patron within the premises.
Members or guests creating nuisance when leaving the club, thus creating disturbance for neighbour
General complaints in relation to opposition team coaches, players and supporters.
How do we make sure our club’s incident register is properly maintained?
Our club will implement procedures to make sure the register is properly maintained. An example of this is to delegate responsibility to our committee. We will also educate our members about the value of maintaining a register so they understand its importance in supporting our club to be safe and responsible.
When to complete the incident register
Our club incident Register will be completed at the time the incident occurs or at the soonest opportunity after the incident. It will assist our club members to complete the register using a standardised method to ensure incident details, including witness details and comments are collected.
