Practice physical safety to reduce risk


What is Physical Safety?

Physical safety means creating environments where everyone—from beginners to seasoned athletes—can enjoy participating without unnecessary risk of harm. It’s not about eliminating all challenges; it’s about making sure the challenges are appropriate and manageable.When we talk about physical safety in sport, recreation, and physical activity, we’re asking:

➡️ Are the equipment and facilities safe to use for everyone?

➡️ Are injuries being prevented or managed appropriately?

➡️ Are risks being identified and minimized?

This is a key part of safe participation—ensuring every individual can thrive, grow, and play without fear of injury or physical harm.
