Health & Safety

Health and Safety wraps every competition with a pre-event, in-event, and post-event lifecycle. During event creation, the platform attaches a safety checklist template scoped to the competition level — a club open requires basic first-aid kit and shaded rest area, a national championship requires a qualified medic on site, defibrillator within two minutes, and emergency-vehicle access plan. Each item is owned by a named role, completed via the organiser app with photo evidence where applicable, and approved by the technical delegate before the competition is allowed to open registration check-in.

Incident reporting is live throughout the event: any official, medic, player, or spectator with a kiosk QR can lodge an incident with category (injury, accident, equipment failure, conduct), severity, and immediate actions. High-severity incidents auto-trigger an investigation workflow with assigned investigator, evidence locker, witness statements, and a 30-day report deadline. First-aid requirements are encoded as a rules table per federation level — minimum medic credentials, response time, equipment list — and the platform refuses to publish an event whose attached medical staffing falls short.

Weather and heat policy modules ingest forecast data and on-site readings; when wet-bulb globe temperature crosses configured thresholds, the platform raises an organiser alert and may auto-extend break intervals or recommend suspension. Safeguarding has its own confidential channel separated from operational reporting: a player or witness submits a safeguarding concern, which is routed exclusively to the federation's safeguarding officers — never to club officials potentially involved — using the directory, with escalation timers (24h acknowledge, 7d initial assessment, 30d disposition) and integration to law-enforcement referral templates where required by national law.
