Empowering clubs to navigate crisis situations, with Fieldfisher and OBBI Golf.
In the serene world of golf, where the rolling greens and gentle swaying trees create an illusion of tranquillity, crisis can still strike unexpectedly.
The 2023 Masters serves as a stark reminder of this reality. Strong winds uprooted trees, sending spectators into a frenzy, narrowly avoiding disaster. While such high-profile events capture headlines, clubs face myriad daily risks for both visitors and employees.
“Low Risk?” — A deceptive notion
Some may perceive clubs as low-risk environments, but they harbour hidden dangers. From falling trees to heavy equipment operation, hazards lurk in the serene landscape. Recognising these risks, clubs must proactively prepare for crisis situations.
Key preparedness measures
The newly released eBook from Fieldfisher and Obbi, Crisis Management: A Response Guide to Major Incidents, outlines essential procedures and policies to mitigate risks and manage crises effectively.
Preparedness measures include:
