What is risk management in club activities?

• A. Identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential risks to members and property.
• B. Planning social gatherings without risk assessment.
• C. Ignoring safety protocols.
• D. Budget forecasting for events.

Answer: (A)

Risk management in club activities means proactively identifying things that could cause harm, judging how likely they are and how serious their impact would be, and putting steps in place to reduce or control those risks. In practice, this involves checking events and venues for hazards, deciding what safeguards are needed (like supervision, safety rules, first aid, and emergency plans), training volunteers, communicating expectations, and monitoring the plan during the activity. The goal is to protect members and property and to respond effectively if something goes wrong. The other options describe elements that aren’t risk management: planning without risk assessment skips safety planning, ignoring safety protocols is unsafe, and budgeting for events deals with finances rather than risk control.
