SUMMARY OF LIABILITY INSURANCE

CUMANN LÚTHCHLEAS GAEL

GAA LIABILITY PROGRAMME

The guide remains an overview of the Terms, Conditions, limitations and Exclusions under the Association’s Public and Employers Liability Insurance arrangements.

There are changes which affect all units covered under the

GAA LIABILITY PROGRAMME

, in which participation remains mandatory.

GENERAL

Liability risks arise under a variety of circumstances, most frequently from the attendance of the public at GAA grounds and premises.

The

Code of Practice for Safety at Sports Grounds

, published by the Department of education in 1996, remains the authoritative guide in the 26 Counties on the liabilities that may typically arise for the majority of GAA facilities. The equivalent in the six Counties is the recently published ‘red guide’ (The safety at sports Grounds Legislation).

The

SAFETY, HEALTH and WELFARE at WORK ACT 2005

, enacted on September 1, 2005, imposes statutory obligations on many GAA units.

The 2005 Act

is of particular importance where Association officers are responsible for any form of

EMPLOYMENT

– which can include full and part-time staff, FAS scheme participants, causal and voluntary workers, building contractors, or anyone working under the direction of club officials. Other legislation which may impose particular duties on Association units include the

Fire Services Act, 1981

, the

Criminal

Justice (Public Order Act), 1994

or

the Occupiers Liability Act 1995

.

A Liability claim

can usually only succeed where negligence can be proven. Negligence is a failure to exercise the proper and prudent care appropriate to the circumstances.

In Civil Law, the measures of negligence make reference to

FORESEEABILITY

(ignorance is no defence), and

REASONABLENESS

(common sense would normally indicate the duties of care expected).

For example

, a greater measure of responsibility is expected towards children in cases where they may be guilty of trespass.

LOSS CONTROL

1. ACCIDENT PREVENTION

It is absolutely essential that Clubs and other units

“shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent

accident, injury, loss or damage and shall take all reasonable steps to observe and comply

with all statutory or local authority laws obligations and requirements”

.

Each club or unit must have a safety Statement and carry out

Risk Assessments

, the extent of which will be determined by the activities undertaken at the facility. This will include match day as well as non-match day exposures.

A system of

continuous safety inspection

at the facility is necessary to ensure it is maintained in a healthy and safe condition for both visitors (‘Third Parties’, ‘Outside Bodies’, ‘Hirers’) and, of course, members.

A safety review should cover

Ø Regular Maintenance

Ø Utilities: Electrical (wiring/lighting), Gas, Oil and Water Supplies

Ø Dangerous refuse and litter – constituting fore and toxic risks

Ø Walls, Gates and fencing

Ø Stands, Roofs, terracing, Seating

Ø Car Parking

Ø Stewarding and crowd control

Ø Medical facilities, including access for ambulances

Ø Safe access and exits (external and internal)

Ø Clearance of glass and sharp stones from playing areas

Ø Shops, Kiosks, Canteens

Ø Co-operation with An Garda Síochána and Fire Officers

Ø Cleaning operations including toilets

There should be regular briefing on Accident Procedures (‘drills’) and Incident Reporting for anyone likely to come into contact with the public such as Officials, Stewards, Gatemen, Stilesmen, Barmen and Caterers.

Ground Safety Rules

For Match Days the Association has published Rules which replace the previously issued FÓGRAÍ and are available from County Boards.

LOSS CONTROL

2. INCIDENT REPORTING

Equally important are the actual costs incurred in defending ourselves against the many and varied claims against the Association, whether they are valid claims or not.

In recent times it has become prudent, on a country-wide basis, to retain the services of a panel of defence solicitors who have proven collective experience in legal matters involving the Association. Loss Control, in human terms as well as financial, still remains a core management responsibility at all levels within the Association. The early recognition of potential losses (‘incidents’), their recording and reporting is crucial to any successful programme of Risk Management.

Any incident likely to give rise to a claim must be reported without delay.

Early referral to County Boards will ensure a uniform defence strategy, including the appointment of designated defence solicitors, as well as meeting basic Insurance Policy reporting requirements.

GAA PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

Cover has been arranged with Lloyd’s and other Market Insurers and comprises:

Annual Policies which provide for cover up to €6.5 million in respect of any one occurrence subject to an Annual Aggregate Excess of €1.5 million.

This means that all compensation cost and expenses payable in respect of injury, loss and damage up to this Excess during the year are the responsibility of the GAA and must be met from the GAA Liability Fund.

The Policies provide indemnity against all sums which the Association shall be come legally liable to pay compensation, together with claimant’s costs and expenses, in respect of:

Ø Accidental bodily injury to Third party

Ø Accidental loss of or damage to their material property

In addition, approved legal costs and expenses incurred in defence of any claim will be paid.

Internal Excess

It is a condition of the Public Liability Programme that an excess of €1000 shall apply to each and every claim.

EXCLUSIONS

INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

A. DANGEROUS ACTIVITIES

In addition to the standard Policy Exclusions, the following list of activities will be deemed excluded unless agreed in advance on a case-by-case basis with the GAA Headquarters / Willis Insurance Brokers.

Ø Mechanical Rides and/or Amusement Device/Fairground/Machinery/Circuses/Motorised Vehicles

The policy can include liability arising out of:

Ø the maintenance of existing buildings or structures belonging, leased, rented or hired to the Insured

Ø any work of construction or reconstruction of any building or structures belonging, leased, rented or hired to the Insured

The Policies provide indemnity against all sums which the Association shall become legally liable to pay as compensation and for claimants’ costs and expenses in respect of accidental bodily injury to any Employee arising out of and in the course of employment by the Association.

Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005

NOTIFICATION OF

PROPERTY CLAIMS

NOTIFICATION OF PROPERTY CLAIMS

As the excess on the property policy have increased for 2012, new procedures have been implemented in relation to dealing with claims as follows:

Ø Clubs should notify new claims to Willis Insurance Brokers immediately after a loss occurs.

Ø Where notifications are under wither the flood or escape of water (EOW) headings, the clubs will need to indicate into which, in their view, of the following bands the notification is likely to fall:

§ € 1 - € 4,000 § € 4,001– 15,000 § € 15,001 - € 25,000 § € 25,001 +

Ø Where the notified flood or EOW incident Is believed to fall into the bands € 4,001 - € 15,000 & € 15,001 - € 25,000, clubs will be required to submit the following:

§ A brief description of the cause and extend of the damage § Details of the rooms / areas affected

§ Where possible, approximate measurements (length, width, height etc.) of the affected rooms/areas
