2.Risk Assessment Overview

One of the most significant safety aspects of an event of this nature is the ability to deal with the unforeseen. Prior planning for major issues such as a medical emergency, crowd control, welfare or major accident is essential, these are standard issues handled by experienced professionals. However as the event itself unfolds numerous issues will arise which will require action to be taken at the time. Runners partaking in the event will be required to supply certain information, such as their confidence that they are fit and competent to carry out such a run, and to follow certain procedures, e.g. wearing of appropriate clothing to ensure that they assist all organisations taking part in the administration of the event in complying with their responsibilities under current Health & Safety regulations. The minimum age to take 15 years old to take part. It is the intention, to assist in tackling these challenges, by having a safety co-ordinator on the ground throughout the event from registration to “all runners completing the Event.” Their brief will be to observe practices of persons present so as their actions do not place any runners, spectators, volunteers at risk and that requirements of current legislation are being met. This assessment is a draft-working document designed for discussion at the various meetings to take place prior and post to the events. It is expected that as arrangements for the events progress issues may arise that constitute hazards; these will be assessed and controlled accordingly. For the purposes of this assessment the following assumptions are made: The management team involved in the organisation will use their experience and knowledge to ensure, that so far as is reasonably practicable, risks to the general public and others are minimised. The involvement of professional organisations in such areas as safety, Event and Medical, marshalling. The involvement at the planning stage of the medical professionals who will be in attendance throughout the event. Event and Medical is the organisation providing the medical cover at the Jurassic Coast 10k 2019. References The Good Practice Safety Guide for small and sporting events taking place on the highway, road and public places (Home Office 2010)The Health & Safety at Work Etc act and all subsequent legislationRunbritain.com During the course of this assessment, hazards and risk will be prioritised using the following risk rating system HAZARDS: Are Categorised Using the Following Scale A= Death, Major Injury, Major Damage Or Loss To Property Or Equipment. B= An Injury Resulting In More Than Three Days Off Work, Or Damage To Property Or Equipment C= Minor Injury, Minor Damage To Property Or Equipment RISKS: Are Categorised Using The Following Scale: 1= Extremely Likely To Occur 2= Frequent, Or Quite Likely To Occur 3 = Slight Chance Of Occurring RISK A B C 1 2 3 A1 UNACCEPTABLE: must receive immediate attention to remove or reduce risk A2/B1 URGENT: must receive attention as soon as possible to reduce hazard or risk A3/C1 Needs attention to verify if hazard (A) or risk (1) can be reduced. Check if satisfactory systems are in place B2 Should receive attention to check if hazard or risk can be reduced and that monitoring procedures are in place B3/C2 Low priority C3 Low priority

3.Event Overview

This event is held on foot paths along the South West Coast Path and the River Otter, the runners will run through a cornered off car park at the start and small roads about half way around which are well marshalled. The race is organised by Jurassic Coast 10k, in aid of a local charity, the FORCE Cancer Charity. The event was first held in 2004. All runners are asked to pay an entry fee and run at their own risk. The course will be traffic free in parts, however the paths are shared with the general public. Race HQ is Lime Kiln Car Park, Budleigh Salterton, Toilet facilities are available within 200 m from Race HQ. It is anticipated that up to 350 runners will take part. The event is run on the 27th July 2019 at 11am. The course will be inspected during the week leading up to the event to ensure it is safe. If there are any possible issues such as foul weather conditions then a final assessment will be taken 1hr prior to the start. If it is deemed that the course is unsafe then the race will be postponed or cancelled. A race briefing for all marshals and safety personnel will be held prior to the start. A race briefing for all runners will be held prior to the start. Runners will be briefed that they must share the paths and be aware of the general public including dog walkers. Runners will also be asked to report back on any problems arising whilst running. For example: Damaged footpaths, potholes, poor visibility etc. See Runners Brief section 5 for full information. Communications: The race organisers will use mobile phones to contact each other – the First Aid provider, Event and Medical, will be on radio with the Race Organiser. All race officials, marshals & volunteers to ensure that their phones are fully charged before the event. Course: Directional Signs, arrows & Caution Runner signs will be used around the course to direct runners and warn the public the event is taking place. The course will be inspected the race day to ensure it is fit for purpose. Advance Warning signs will also be erected around the course 1-2 weeks before the event, which will warn members of the public that the event is taking place. First Aid Provision: This will be provided by Event and Medical. In the case of a serious incident the race organisers will call 999 to get extra assistance – the race will be abandoned. There will be first aid available at the start and finish area, 2 First aiders. On the course the medical 4×4 plus 2 first aiders will be based at the Water works between 5km and 6km and will access the course as required. Accident Reporting: All accidents involving Runners, members of the public or Staff must be reported to the Race Director and such reports should be passed to the Health and Safety Officer who will enter them in the incident log book. This will be kept as a record of the event but also as a guide as to possible hazards for future events. Accidents include any unplanned event leading to: Injury to persons whether staff or a member of the public. Damage to property. Incidents likely to cause either of the above. Once the initial report has been filed, the Health and Safety Manager will carry out a preliminary investigation and take any appropriate action. In the course of this investigation the use of photography and witness statements may be used as necessary to record evidence. R.I.D.D.O.R. – Jurassic Coast 10k have a statutory duty to report any serious injury caused to participants, spectators and volunteers (plus contractors and staff) resulting from negligence – e.g. a runner injured tripping over a barrier (but not a self-inflicted injury or illness). Event and Medical will assist by completing their relevant Patient Report Form (PRF) and provide a relevant report to Jurassic Coast 10k to enter on the Health & Safety Executive’s website. Marshals: Marshals will be positioned at key points on the course to ensure the safety of the runners, helpers and general public. Marshals are to wear high-visibility bibs.

6.Medical Risk Assessment

‘Run Britain’ Road Race Handbook 2010. The key issues to be considered are: Number, profile (350, Range from experienced club runners to novices – over 15 years of age) Course distance and configuration (10km. 1 loop) Vehicular access for treatment and transportation of casualties – on-course based at SW Water Treatment Works (between 5-6km see map) and at the finish area Proximity to local NHS Accident and Emergency hospital (20 mins, Exeter). Who will be informed the run is taking place. Past incident data (1 in 2015 – cut eye) Availability of communications (Radio’s to communicate with
Event and Mecical, mobile phones to communicate with marshals) Time of year, anticipated weather conditions (July – warm dry/wet) Provision of drinking water, (drinking water at race HQ, 5km, clamour bridge (just before 8km) and the finish). Baggage storage at Race HQ. Shelter at the Budliegh Salterton Cricket Club.Sweeper – to walk/run behind the last runner. Sweeper to notify each marshal he passes that the last runner has passed. Marshals, please take back to race HQ the markers and any race material in their area and any they pass on their way back to race HQ. The Sweeper will stay behind the last runner, if he passes any injured runner he must inform the race organiser of the runner’s number and the problem who will inform Event and Medical to attend the scene, he will phone the nearest marshal to stay with the runner until Event and Medical has arrived. The Sweeper will stay with the injured runner until the marshal arrives. The sweeper will phone 999 if it is an emergency and then phone marshals to come to site to stay with injured runner until medical personal arrives to the scene. Unless an incident has arisen for the run course to be stopped the sweeper will continue along the course until the finish. He will then inform the race organiser the course is clear of runners or any issues and any runners numbers who he has come across that have dropped out of the run. See route map overleaf with marshal positions. All marshals to phone race organiser – Jane – 07814009918 if any incident. Jane to action e.g Event and Mecical, 999, provisions. Medical post at race HQ/finish and at 5.5km – South West Water Treatment works . 2 Qualified first aider registered medical professional at each post. Procedure the medical personnel will take to get to casualty Start to race HQ – vehicle access Race HQ to White Bridge – on foot White bridge – 5km – 4×4 access via the coast foot path, via pynes farm. 5km to SW Water plant – by foot no vehicle access. SW Water Plant to 7km – vehicle access 7km – Clamour Bridge – On Foot River otter to White Bridge – On Foot/Air ambulance Vehicular access is poor along many sections of the run. Event and Medical has been made aware. The nearest Emergency Department is the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, Barrack Road, Exeter. The approximate distance would mean around 20 minutes drive time under normal conditions. The location of the course presents no black spots for mobile phone use. Weather conditions appear to be suitable for this level of competition. Provisions for fluids are available at the start / finish and at 5km and clammer bridge, just before 8km. With this information at hand there will be a vehicle equipped to deal with minor injuries and the provision for immediate response to a serious medical condition E.g. Cardiac arrest would seem suitable for this level of event. In the event of a serious incident, the contingency plan should be to abandon / stop the event as the response unit would be unable to divert to another major incident. Any minor injuries would then be triaged after dealing with the major incident. This assessment has been compiled with previous data, the Run Britain Guidelines, the medical provider Event and Medical and Jurassic Coast 10k.

Hazard Persons or Items at Risk Risk Evaluation Control Strategy Fatigue. Cramp. Dehydrated. Runners C3 First Aid provision at the finish line equipped to deal with the provision of the condition. Serious Medical Condition: E.G; Cardiac Arrest, Stroke etc. Runners or Spectators A3 Marshal to contact Race Organiser who would inform Event and Medical and call 999. Event and Medical to attend with relevant equipment available. 999 called for extra assistance. The race will be abandoned. All marshals will be phoned and told to inform runners due to a serious medical condition the race has had to be stopped. Runners must walk or run back at their own risk. The Sweeper will continue to sweep the course in direction of the run and finish marshal will sweep in alternate direction. Marshals to stay in position until sweeper passes to help direct and ask questions Slips Trips and Falls: With 300 Runners expected Potential causes of this problem could include: Poor lighting and uneven ground generally. Potential injuries will in the main be minor (Cuts, Grazes Etc) with a slight chance of more serious injuries (Fractures). Runners or Spectators C1 / B3 With runners and spectators of this capacity it should be assumed that at some stage of the day an incident may occur. The control strategy should therefore be two fold, firstly prevent or reduce the likelihood of an incident & secondly a plan of action in case of an incident occurring. Routes will be walked prior to event to ensure the route is clearly marked and major hazards are highlighted by a sign to the runner During the set up phase of the event safety co-ordinator(s) will monitor sites to ensure that trip hazards are controlled / highlighted this will be done with the use of hazard tape, or signs. Throughout the event safety co-ordinator(s) will monitor conditions and where necessary implement controls. First aid cover for the event is being supplied through Event and Medical Supported by marshals. All agencies will be in communication to ensure casualties get prompt attention. Lost Runner Runner A3 Sweeper Runner in place to monitor runners dropping out. In the case of a runner dropping out communication back to the finish must be implemented. All runner numbers to be checked in and out to identify any missing runners. If identified Race Organiser to phone contact number on entry form – if not found to sweep course in both directions, if still missing to inform the police. Fire: The risk of fire breaking out is very minimal. On this land this will be controlled by the local Fire Brigade. Everybody A3 Communication to the Race Direction is essential. The race to be abandoned on safety grounds. Emergency services to be contacted on 999 by the nearest marshal and race director. Cold/Icy Weather: Not relevant for this race.
