8rItIsh Taekwondo (8T) puts the health and safety of Its members as Its hIghest
prIorIty. Dur objectIve Is that no one wIll be hurt through partIcIpatIon In Taekwondo.
As health and safety Is such a key prIorIty thIs document Is wrItten In a manner that can
be clearly and easIly understood by all Its offIcIals, Instructors and members alIke to
ensure full complIance.
Taekwondo Is a martIal art and a fullcontact combat sport and therefore, by Its very
nature, there Is always a rIsk of some mInor Injury. The 8T PolIcy and Procedures are
based upon elImInatIng any serIous InjurIes and an ongoIng commItment to contInually
work to reduce rIsks.
The 8T Health and Safety PolIcy and Procedures comply wIth the Health and Safety at
Work Act 1974 as Issued by the UK Health and Safety ExecutIve (HSE) and whIlst not
seekIng external accredItatIon or certIfIcatIon It also complIes wIth the Intent and
requIrements of a Health and Safety |anagement System under nternatIonal Standard
DHSAS18001:2007.
The 8T Health and Safety |anagement System detaIls the processes necessary In order
to meet Its objectIves. ThIs management system should brIng many benefIts IncludIng:
Assure complIance wIth legIslatIon
ContInual Improvement
mproved rIsk management
ncreased user satIsfactIon
|ore effIcIent use of resources
The HSE has now moved away from usIng the PDP|AF (PolIcy, DrganIsIng, PlannIng,
|easurIng performance, AudItIng and FevIew) model of managIng health and safety to
'Plcn, 0o, Check, Act'. 8T has adopted thIs new approach wIthIn Its HES |anagement
System.
The move towards Plan, 0o, Check, Act achIeves a better balance between the systems
and behavIoural aspects of Taekwondo management. t also treats health and safety
management as an Integral part of good management generally, rather than as a stand
alone system.

Some venues may be fulltIme Taekwondo dojangs. Dthers may be modern councIl or

Every type of venue should be rIskassessed prIor to use. ThIs assessment should only

completed prIor to lettIng students take part In any Taekwondo class. FaIlure to assess
the rIsks could lead to Injury or harm to members. To assIst In thIs assessment, 8rItIsh
Taekwondo recommends use of the Taekwondo 7enue FIsk Assessment Form Included In
SectIon 15, whIch Is sImple to use but hIghlIghts some potentIal rIsks. Dther rIsks may
exIst and the nstructor must IdentIfy these n stu.
Completed 7enue FIsk Assessments should be kept by the nstructor and/or dIsplayed In

The ExecutIve CommIttee have InstIgated a robust FIsk |anagement process based
upon rIsks beIng 'As Low As Feasonably PractIcal' (ALAFP) recognIsIng Taekwondo's
unIqueness namely that:
'Tcekwondo s c mcrtcl crt cnd c ]ullcontcct combct sport cnd there]ore by ts
very ncture there s clwcys c rsk o] some mnor n]ury. 8rtsh Tcekwondo s
commtted to mnmsny the rsks'
t Is always the nstructors fInal responsIbIlIty to carry out a specIfIc FIsk Assessments
agaInst the actual actIvIty, cIrcumstances and condItIons. AddItIonal hazards may exIst
and addItIonal measures or protectIon may therefore be necessary.
Every Taekwondo specIfIc actIvIty may contaIn a varIety of hazards and rIsks to look for
such as:
TrIppIng/SlIppIng/FallIng
Face InjurIes (Eyes/Teeth/Nose)
8ody InjurIes (FIbs/CroIn/8ones)
Hand or Foot njurIes (FIngers/Toes)
Knockout / UnconscIousness
8leedIng
ChokIng
FaIntIng
Asthma
Undeclared/Unknown |edIcal CondItIons
ConductIng specIfIc FIsk Assessments at theIr poInt of use Is always the best way to
IdentIfy these and any addItIonal hazards. LIkewIse every Taekwondo actIvIty wIll carry
dIfferent levels of rIsk for example Fullcontact Sport SparrIng wIll be naturally far
more hazardous than Poomsae practIse.
Fegardless of the actIvItIes Involved each FIsk Assessment must be IndIvIdually checked
by the nstructor to ensure Its applIcabIlIty In 'that venue', at 'that tIme', In 'those
condItIons' etc.

The IntentIon of these detaIled TaekwondospecIfIc actIvIty related FIsk Assessments Is
to IdentIfy methods of elImInatIng, reducIng or protectIng from any resultIng rIsks and
thus elImInatIng any serIous InjurIes.
The mInImum standards and expectatIons resultIng from these |odel FIsk Assessments
are captured In SectIon J of thIs |anagement System - 8rItIsh Taekwondo Safety Fules
t must be stressed that the attached are 'generIc, model' assessments only and the
nstructor must check each of them to ensure they are applIcable to the tIme, place
and condItIons In whIch he Is applyIng them. AddItIonal hazards and rIsks may be
dIscovered and must be added to the FIsk Assessment for that Club.
The nstructor should sIgn off the FIsk Assessments whIch they are applyIng to theIr own
Club.

Taekwondo Is a physIcal and hazardous actIvIty and, by Its very nature, there wIll be
tImes when mInor FIrst AId Is requIred by Its members, e.g. plasters, freeze spray
and nose bleeds etc. However, more serIous lIfesavIng fIrst aId for condItIons such as
heart attack, cardIac arrest and chokIng must be consIdered by the Club nstructor.
Dne of 8rItIsh Taekwondo's key Safety Fules Is that every 8T Club, durIng all Its
actIvItIes, must have access to:
A traIned |edIc or a traIned Emergency FIrst AIder
A fully equIpped and approved FIrst AId KIt
An AccIdent Feport 8ook
Emergency servIces vIa telephone
">4@S4NRQ )H@29 #HG4@2
f a Club traIns In a leIsure centre then It Is probable that the staff In the centre wIll
already be fIrst aId traIned. nstructors should check that thIs Is the case wIth the
centre and assure themselves that there wIll always be a Centre FIrst AIder close by
durIng all Taekwondo Classes.
f a Club traIns In Its own fulltIme dojang or an Isolated hall such as a church or
vIllage hall then the responsIbIlIty for fIrst aId cover generally falls to the Club
nstructor.

Any Club that has a fulltIme doctor or paramedIc InstructIng or traInIng all the tIme
Is truly very lucky. However most do not and therefore 8rItIsh Taekwondo
recommends Its nstructors to take an approved and certIfIed FIrst AId Course such as
the Emergency FIrst AId at Work (EFAW) Course. ThIs Course takes one day and
qualIfIes the nstructor for J years. t Is an essentIal requIrement for nstructors,
AssIstants and anyone who may end up takIng the class e.g. an AssIstant or
Emergency nstructor.
The EFAW Course Is certIfIed by the HSE and covers all aspects of fIrst aId In an
emergency. The Course places a strong emphasIs on teachIng practIcal skIlls that are
relevant to Taekwondo and the workplace.
All candIdates receIve a natIonally recognIzed certIfIcate, whIch proves that they are
a competent fIrst aIder. The most Important benefIt Is that the course gIves people
new found confIdence, whIch can help when they fInd themselves In an emergency
sItuatIon.
The syllabus Includes:
FesponsIbIlItIes of the fIrst aIder
FIrst AId KIt. ClearIng AccIdent and FeportIng Procedures
How to check for breathIng
FIrst AId At Work prIncIples
Assessment of InjurIes

There are many provIders of thIs Course and they are normally happy to put on
specIfIc Courses for Taekwondo clubs and groups of around 20 people.
The same Course Is also used In the work place and can often be provIded by
employers.
There are no hard and fast rules on exact numbers of FIrst AIders requIred so the
nstructor wIll need to take Into account all the relevant cIrcumstances of your
partIcular traInIng venue by conductIng a 8T 7enue FIsk Assessment.
A general guIde for FIrst AIder requIrements Is as follows:
Fewer than 25 students At least one EFAW FIrst AIder
25-50 students Dne addItIonal EFAW FIrst AIder
|ore than 50 students Dne for every addItIonal 100 (or part
thereof)
For most Taekwondo Clubs one FIrst AIder (or access to one) wIll normally suffIce.
For large 8rItIsh Taekwondo SemInars or CradIngs of say 200 students then J or 4
FIrst AIders should be In attendance.

All InjurIes wIthIn a 8rItIsh Taekwondo Club must be recorded In the IndIvIdual Clubs
AccIdent 8ook by Its nstructor.
The UK Health and Safety ExecutIve (HSE) requIre that InjurIes whIch occur through a
workrelated Injury must be reported to them (by the employer or person In charge of
the premIses) under the FeportIng of njurIes, 0Iseases and 0angerous Dccurrences
FegulatIons (F00DF).
Sports InjurIes, such as In Taekwondo, need not be reported to the HSE If the Injury
arose out of the normal partIcIpatIon of the actIvIty. However, Taekwondo InjurIes
should be reported If they were due to defectIve equIpment or faIlIngs In the
organIsatIon and management of an event.
8rItIsh Taekwondo does requIre reportIng of certaIn InjurIes resultIng from Taekwondo
traInIng so that It can use the data provIded to contInuously Improve Its health and
safety performance, I.e., causIng less harm to 8T members.
n addItIon, 8rItIsh Taekwondo Is requIred to manage Insurance cover and any claIms on
