Section ONE - Purpose
This Event Safety Plan is intended to document the preparation and planning to
remove, minimise or isolate risks associated with the competition which this safety
plan pertains to.
This Event Safety Plan should be considered in addition to the following documents:
1. Competition Safety Manual V4.0 2018
2. Surf Sport Manual 9th Edition (V4)
These documents provide detailed specifics of the process utilised in this Event
Safety Plan, and provide additional oversight of safety requirements.
All risk management planning and implementation should be considered in
accordance with “Risk management – Principles and Guidelines Standard, AS/NZS
ISO 31000:2009”.
Where a competition is being conducted at a patrolled beach, the Event Manager
should obtain a copy of the site Patrol Operations Manual – Section A, which will
offer additional local context to the site in terms of safety management.

Updated 15 Oct 2020Section THREE – Summary of Roles
A full description of competencies, roles and position descriptions is detailed in Section 3 - 6 of the Surf
Lifesaving Competition Safety Manual V4.0 2018.
Event Manager (EM)
Role of the Event Manager:
The Event Manager is responsible for all aspects of the competition. The Event Manager leads the
Event Management Committee with the support of the Event Referee (ER) and the Event Safety
Officer (ESO). The EM in conjunction with the ER, jointly support the ESO and contribute to the
safety management of the competition. Taking into consideration the size and scope of the
competition, as well as the likely hazards and their potential risks, the EM may also be the ESO, or
the ESO may be an additional person appointed by the EM. In either case, the operational
requirements of the EM remain the same.
Event Safety Officers (ESO)
Role of the Event Safety Officer:
The ESO leads the safety management for the competition with the support and input of the
Event Manager (EM) and the Event Referee (ER), before, during and after competition. Taking
into consideration the size and scope of the competition, as well as the likely hazards and their
potential risks, the ESO may also be the EM, or the EM may be an additional person appointed by
the ESO. In either case, the operational requirements of the ESO are the same. The ESO may also
use Arena Safety Observers in each arena to assist with identifying risks before and during
competition.
Arena Safety Observers (ASO)
Role of the Arena Safety Observer:
The ASO’s assess the safety of an arena and would be generally by put in place for multi arena
events that require additional support to the ESO.
Event Referee (ER)
Role of the Event Referee:
The ER leads and mangers the officials to deliver a safe, efficient and fair competition across all
arenas for all competitors. The EM will appoint one or more Arena Referees (AR) as required who
are delegated to lead and manage a safe, efficient and fair competition for all competitors
within a designated arena. The ER is supported by the ESO, EM and AR to provide effective safety
management in all arenas before, during and after the competition.
Competition Water Safety & Medical Personnel
Competition Water Safety:
The EM in consultation with the ESO will appoint a Water Safety Officer (WSO) for competitions.
The ESO and WSO may be the same person for small events. For competitions with multiple arenas
and or complex competitions, e.g. regional IRB competition, the ESO must be a different person to
the WSO.
IRB Drivers and Crew:
All IRB drivers and crew must hold current qualifications for their positions, and have the required
knowledge skills and experience to safely operate their craft and perform the duties required of
them in a competition environment and in the prevailing environmental conditions.

Updated 15 Oct 2020Risk Assessment Process/Matrix
The Risk Assessment Matrix requires us to consider both the likelihood and potential impact or
consequences of each individual risk. A Risk Factor from 1 – 5 is applied to both the ‘likelihood’
and potential ‘impact’ for each of the identified risks. The two risk factors are then multiplied,
which provides a score which determines the level of risk.
Steps required to identify hazards and analyse risk
Step One – Identify the work activity(s) that are to be carried out
Step Two – Identify which workers and other people are likely to be affected by the work activity.
Step Three – Identify the hazards associated with the proposed work activity. Consider environmental
factors, the equipment or structures to be used and the capability and competency of those expected to
undertake the work.
Step Four – Undertake a risk analyse using the Risk Assessment matrix which requires consideration of
the both the consequences and probability of risk to provide an estimate of the risk magnitude. Risk
analysis is the process of estimating the magnitude of the risk and deciding what actions to take. Risk
Magnitude is assessed using the probability and consequence scales below.
Probability scale
Scale Frequency of accident or illness
Score
1 Rare Would only occur in exceptional circumstances.
2 Unlikely Incident conceivable at some time, but only remotely possible.
3 Possible Could occur at some time, has probably happened in the past.
4 Likely Will probably occur in most circumstances, known to have happened in
the past.
5 Almost certain Expected to occur in most circumstances, regularly occurred in the past.
Consequence scale
Score Scale Severity of accident or illness
1 Insignificant No real injury or illness resulting – e.g. minor bumps, bruises or abrasions.
Injuries
2 Minor Injuries First aid or minor medical treatment is required – e.g. sprains, strains and
cuts.
3 Significant Injury or illness requiring treatment by a qualified medical practitioner such
Injuries as a GP or A&E, e.g. fractures, dislocations or wounds needing stitches.
4 Serious Life or limb threatening injury or illness requiring immediate emergency
Injuries medical assistance (hospitalisation), e.g. multiple trauma in juries with
potential for permanent disablement.
5 Fatality One or more multiple fatalities are possible.
16 | P a g e
Updated 15 Oct 2020A risk assessment category (Critical, High, Moderate or Low) for each hazard is compiled by
using the chart below. Hazards with the highest rating should be given priority.

risk as soon as possible. Monitor continuously for changes.
6.5-10.5 MODERATE risk. Low level control measures should be considered and applied to
mitigate, eliminate, prevent or reduce the risk. The level of risk may however be acceptable,
provided existing control measures remain in place. Monitor for changes.
1-6.25 A LOW level of risk, which may be acceptable, provided existing control measures
remain in place. Monitor for changes.

Updated 15 Oct 20208.20 COVID Measures / Precautions
The Event Management will look to implement the Event Sector Voluntary Code
This Event Sector Voluntary Code outlines a high-level overview of what the event sector can do to safely deliver events. The Code provides
best practice expectations on running events and is based on Ministry of Health guidance to reduce COVID-19 related risks.
The Event Management would suggest members associated with this event:
• Stay home if you are unwell and call Healthline (for free) on 0800 358 5453 or your health care provider if you think you
have symptoms of COVID-19.
• Scan in with the Event QR poster, or utilize the Bluetooth COVID App:
• Follow basic hygiene measures at the event:
1- Hand hygiene – frequently wash your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds, then dry them thoroughly. If you are unable to access
soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser containing at least 60% alcohol. If using sanitiser, ensure that you use enough to
cover your hands and rub hands together until dry.
2- Cough and sneeze etiquette – sneezing or coughing into the crook of your elbow or covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then
putting the tissue in a bin and cleaning your hands (as above).
3- Avoiding touching your face – hard surfaces can be contaminated with infectious droplets. Hands can be contaminated after contact
with these surfaces. If you need to touch your face, clean your hands first.
4- Cleaning surfaces and frequently touched items – clean high-touch surfaces and items (for example door handles and phones)
frequently with an appropriate cleaning solution to reduce transmission of germs in general.
5- Physical distancing – When physical distancing isn’t a requirement, you can still play it safe by continuing to keep a distance from
people you do not know. Use your judgement. This will help to minimise the spread of COVID-19 if community transmission returns.
Changes in COVID Alert Levels.
Public Events at Alert Level 2
If Level 2 were imposed countrywide, restricting gatherings to 500 persons, dependent on entry numbers, the event management would
look to run two distinctly separate venues, or run two age groups over days 1 and 2, and two age groups over days 3 and 4,. We would
then ask that support crews and spectators maintain their own distinct bubble separate to the competitors.
Public Events at Alert Level 3
At Alert Level 3 gatherings of any size are cancelled and public venues are closed. Gatherings such as concerts and sporting events pose
a high risk for transmission of infectious diseases.

Updated 15 Oct 20208.21 SLSNZ Incident and Injury Notification Flow Chart
NOTE: Where injury is in the marine environment, notification MUST be given to
Maritime NZ
Notifiable Events includes:
Notifiable Death – when a person has been killed as a result of work.
Notifiable Incident – when a person’s health and safety is seriously threatened or
endangered as a result of a work situation, i.e. if someone has been exposed to
a serious or immediate risk to their health and safety because of an unplanned or
uncontrolled work incident.
Notifiable Injury - an injury that requires (or would usually require) the person to
be admitted to hospital for immediate treatment. ‘Admitted to a hospital’ means
being admitted to hospital as an inpatient for any length of time – it does not
include just being taken to the hospital for out-patient treatment by a hospital’s
A&E department.
Major First Aid - Any incident where a victim needs a higher level of medical
treatment or is handed to another agency e.g. doctor, ambulance, hospital.
