Partnership
Recognise that people taking part in similar activities will accept different levels of risk.
Take this into account when planning facilities or activities. Higher levels of participant competence may offset the need for other types of risk control.
Recognise that risk control measures for one participant group may create risks to others.
For example, fences erected to prevent people falling into water may impede rescues of people from the water.
Work with groups representative of participants to promote understanding and resolve conflict.
Collect incident data in partnership with others wherever possible.
This will increase greatly the value of the collected data.
