Health and safety plays a big part in any work organisation,
especially in a sports organisation with all the extra equipment and
chemicals that are used for sport. The health and safety act work 1974
was replaced in 1992 and again in 1999 by the management of health and
safety at work regulations. The Management of Health and Safety at
Work Regulations 1999 outline how employers should achieve the
requirements defined under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
The main requirement of these Regulations is for sports organizations
such as Gateshead stadium and St James Park to carry out an assessment
of the risks associated with their activities before the activities
take place.
Sport plays a major part in the personal, social and physical
development of young people. All young people should have the
opportunity to develop those skills and be able to participate in
sport and leisure activities in an environment free from
discrimination an without risk to there personal health and safety.
Gateshead stadium and St James Park are sports grounds and are under a
another act the safety of sports act 1975 and also the Fire Safety
and Safety of Places of Sport Act 1987 are concerned with addressing
risks to spectators at sports grounds but not with the risks to
participants, who are normally covered by the general requirements of
the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
The legislations of health and safety in sports organisations:-
Ø Secure the health and safety welfare of people at work.
Ø Control the emission into the atmosphere of noxious or offensive
substances from premises.
Ø Control handling and storage of dang...

...orts centers. These substances include chemical
for cleaning disinfecting, for treating water i.e. chlorine and P.H
indicator or for making out grass pitches. Risk may arise through
inhalation through nose, ingestion through mouth or absorption via
skin
Although the individual club or society organising an activity or
event is
responsible for preparing the risk assessment, National Governing
Bodies should
produce a range of procedures and guidance documents on control
measures to
assist this process.Overall if the employers pass on their knowledge
and understanding of the procedures and guidance documents that the
NGB produce to them onto their employees the work place should be a
much safer place to be and should help remove or control the health
risks by use of approval, personnel and procedures.

This Act of Parliament is the core part of UK health and safety law. It places a responsibility on all bosses and managers to make sure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and well-being at work of all their staff and workers.
Section 8 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act (2005) puts the onus on the employer to ensure systems of work that are planned, organised, performed, maintained and revised as appropriate so as to be, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risk to health. Section 19 of the Act requires the employer to conduct a risk assessment of work activities and Schedule 3 of the Act provides the general principles of prevention to ensure the safety of employees in the workplace.
To protect themselves, football players wear helmets, pads, mouthpieces, and other safety gear. Nevertheless, concussions, broken bones, and other injuries are frequent occurrences in football today. Major companies and coaches are doing many things to make football a safer sport. They have developed new equipment, installed new rules for the actual game of football, and have new laws and regulations for water breaks, practice time, etc.
Answer: The Health and Safety Executiveâ€TMs role is to lessen the amount of work related accidents and deaths in the UK. Legislations, such as the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are created by the Health and Safety Executive to help achieve this outcome.
Under the health and safety act everyone should be thinking about how to keep themselves, others and the environment they work in safe. Adults have a duty of care and should encourage the children to also do this, this will help increase their own awareness of what they are doing and where.
Sports play an important role in American culture, with the top four most popular being football, baseball, basketball and ice hockey. These professional athletes make millions of dollars through their annual salaries and endorsements. Many wonder how they got to where they are today and was it worth it. There are mixed messages about participating in sports as a child and how it affects their development. Some believe that sports will help their child develop better communication skills, self-confidence and build character, while others believe that young athletes will develop aggression traits such as bullying, competitiveness, and aggressiveness. Although some believe that sports participation as a child will lead to aggressive children, there is ample evidence through research that sports benefits a child’s cognitive, social, and, physical development.
Football is considered an all-American sport. I have been an avid fan of the NFL and its teams for many years and have even played the game myself. However, when observing not only the injuries sustained by professionals, but by the youth as well, it is clear that something is wrong. Although there have been many improvements in the design of football helmets and safety equipment, it cannot be denied that tackle football can be dangerous to the developing brains of children because padding makes kids feel invulnerable, the impacts can negatively affect children’s brain functions, and helmets only protect the skull and not the brain.
In “Ethics and Sport: Whose Ethics, Which Ethos,” Milan Hosta provides an article that has insight on how ethics and ethos effect sport. Throughout reading this article, it seems that the author only creates more questions rather then answers. Costa does not give clear definitions and comprehendible insight to fulfill his argument. Although Milan Hosta’s article has a lot of detailed information; it has bad organization and it is comprehensively hard to understand his view.
There is need for ethics in sports within athletic competition today. Without ethics, there are no moral grounds or rules with which to lead a healthy, competitive athletic lifestyle today. Whether young or old, all athletes struggle creating a strong foundation within a world of winning and losing. Where does this foundation originate from? Ethics and sports go hand-in-hand.

Every weekend hundreds of thousands of sports fans pack the stadiums of their favorite team and ruthlessly engage in fandom. Some fans tailgate before the game and casually support their team by sporting a jersey and team colors, while others may dress up in absurd outfits, like one Raiders fan who has dressed up in a gorilla suit for the last 16 years. From wicked costumes and body paint, to inappropriate jeers at opposing fans, Eric Simmons was determined to reach a conclusion as to why humans are so entrenched by sports. Simmons does not try to push the world in a certain direction, rather, he utilizes real-life examples, rhetorical questions, and studies and statistics to inform the reader on why fans have developed an intense love for
Being a parent is one of the most rewarding, yet difficult jobs in the world. We want our children to grow up to be well-rounded adults and to succeed in everything they do. As role models, we give direction to our children, motivate and inspire them to reach a goal, and encourage them to do the right thing. We are molding them to be the next generation of successful leaders. We want to teach them life lessons, be high performers, and most of all, we want them to be happy. Parents want school and sports to be positive experiences in their children’s life, however, what if a parent’s leadership creates a negative experience? What if parents push their children too hard? What if parents create such negativity regarding sports, that it results in emotional, physical, and even health related problems?
A hazard is defined as an activity or object that has the potential to cause harm if contact is made with the person, object or activity (MHS, 1996; Harmse, 2007; HSE, 2006). These hazards in a work place need to be identified and dealt with accordingly to prevent any harm to employees or any individual acquainted to a certain activity or establishment. The key roles and principles of occupational hygiene are Anticipation, Identification, Evaluation and Control (Schoeman and van den Heever, 2014; Harmse, 2008; SAMTRAC, 2012). To practise in accordance to the above principle; a hazard identification and risk assessment needs to be conducted. Anticipation is the foreseeing of the activity
