  1. Risk and Safety Management in the Leisure, Events, Tourism and Sports Industries Mark Piekarz, Ian Jenkins and Peter Mills

  2. Chapter 11 - Learning from the Past (Case Study Analysis)

  3. • Apply the key theoretical concepts to a range of case studies. • To show the value of researching and analysing past incidents to help identify hazards and risks. • Illustrate the benefits of case study analysis of past incidents to identify causation factors, which can then be used for future scenario writing. • To show the value of comparative analysis of cases between sectors, countries and levels of management.

  4. Case studies are a useful vehicle for understanding risk management. Important to link theory and models to case study examples. Case studies are specific and not always representative. They need to be linked to other data and generalised analysis of risks and accidents. Need to be aware of key concepts.

  5. KEY CONCEPTS Key risk benefits Anatomy of risks Key risk exposure dimension Trigger example Causation categories (agents or variables)

  6. SPORT INJURIES AND VIOLENCE Spinal injuries in sport and the case of Ben Smoldon Kevin Everett (USA American football) spinal injury The risk of concussion in soccer and American football Coaching abuse in sports

  7. ADVENTURE RELATED CASE STUDIES Lyme Bay Surf accidents (Australia) Death during a tough mudding event (USA) Adventure world company (Switzerland)

  8. EVENT MANAGEMENT Key case study – Hillsborough Athlete security – Monica Seles stabbed Serbia vs Albania football game cancelled Terrorist attacks on Sport

  9. TOURISM Terrorist attacks on tourists P&O ferry disaster A volcanic eruption

  10. CONCLUSION Case studies consider a wide range of risk factors, not only to safety. Hazards and risks relate to operational conditions, project management and strategic planning. Important to read these cases remembering the stories and key factors of failures. Proper control measures to deal with the risks. Finally, need to develop the art of modelling future scenarios of what could happen, unless certain safety management actions are taken.
