In order to encourage and reward good risk management, Ansvar Insurance are now offering discounted premiums for committees who demonstrate that they are carry out Risk Assessments.<\/p>\n<p>Risk assessment is not a difficult process but it does take time. It is sensible, therefore, to spread the load as far as possible and for volunteers to carry out risk assessments in their own specialist area where they best know about any likely hazards. The same requirement to assess risk applies to activities that are held away from your premises. The process should be overseen and co-ordinated by the person who has overall responsibility for health and safety.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-72784 kc_text_block btn btn--double fade-in fade-in\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emailmeform.com\/builder\/form\/QK0r8zD19hO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get a quote<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-470694 kc_col-sm-6 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-6 desktop-second mobile-first\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-150770 kc-animated kc-animate-eff-fadeIn kc_shortcode kc_single_image\">\n\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.norrisandfisher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/village-hall-risk-assessment.jpg\" class=\"\" alt=\"An insurance broker sat at a desk, holding a pen and a village hall risk assessment document.\" \/>    <\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-933354 mobile-show\" style=\"height: 30px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section id=\"village-hall-insurance\" data-kc-fullwidth=\"row\" class=\"kc-elm kc-css-421919 kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-944557 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-691857 kc_row kc_row_inner\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-852176 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-709259 kc_text_block  fade-in\"><\/p>\n<h2>Village Hall Risk Management<\/h2>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-750377\" style=\"height: 15px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><div data-kc-equalheight=\"true\" data-kc-row-action=\"true\" data-kc-equalheight-align=\"top\" class=\"kc-elm kc-css-747801 kc_row kc_row_inner align-middle\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-20983 kc_col-sm-6 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-7240 kc_text_block fade-in\"><\/p>\n<p>You should systematically look at each activity (including use of the buildings) and note all of the hazards and risks and any existing safety measures. You should also note any person who may be specifically at risk. You must then record any additional safety measures or \u2018controls\u2019 which will reduce those risks as far as possible. As well as the interior of buildings, you must also look at the grounds and other external areas.<\/p>\n<p>This can be an involved and tedious process, but we have written a Risk Management guide in association with insurers which is designed to assist in identifying and minimising the typical risks faced by Village Hall committees. A copy of the guide is available here or we would be happy to send a hard copy.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-346686 kc_col-sm-6 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-6\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-637579 kc_text_block  fade-in\"><\/p>\n<p>Subjects covered include fire safety, food hygiene, general maintenance and bouncy castles. There is a section on firework displays and the guide also includes advice on staging events \u2013 fun runs, for example. One question that is often raised is whether your liability is increased if you clear snow and ice \u2013 the guide deals with this matter. The guide also includes a Risk Assessment form which you can copy and complete to meet your obligations.<\/p>\n<p>If you are on top of risk management issues, then it may be worth your while to complete our self-assessment form. This is intended to offer improved rates and thereby reduced premiums for halls which are well managed. If this is of interest to you then please complete and return the self assessment form.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-544030\" style=\"height: 15px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-712373 kc_row kc_row_inner\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-317079 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-96606 kc_text_block btn btn--double  fade-in fade-in\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.norrisandfisher.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Risk-Management-Guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Risk Management Guide<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emailmeform.com\/builder\/form\/QK0r8zD19hO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Self Assessment Form<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-994360 kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":252,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Risk Management - Norris and Fisher<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Risk assessment is not a difficult process but it does take time.
