"Those who trust to chance must abide by the results of chance."
- John Calvin Coolidge, (18721933) 30th US president, 1923-1929
Employer Risk Management
When a gymnastics coach hears the words "safety" and "risk management," they probably think
about things like spotting, teaching progressions, safety certification and medical insurance. A
gym owner may think about things like coach's certifications, liability and worker compensation
insurance and maybe equipment and facility inspections. One aspect of risk management that
typically does not get enough attention by gym owners is managing the risk of being an employer.
Workplace risk includes safety and litigation risk. Though the actual responsibilities of being an
employer vary by state and are governed by legislation and numerous agencies (including the
Americans with Disabilities Act, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Fair Labor
Standards, Family and Medical Leave Act, Department of Labor, National Labor Relations Board,
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, etc.), there are some customary workplace
wrongdoings that require our attention.
· Harassment. Harassment can include hostile work environment or quid pro quo
(exchange for privileged treatment) sexual harassment. Sexual and other forms of
harassment is a common problem. Over 16,000 cases are brought each year against
employers (US Department of Labor). Claims can be created by men, women, co-
workers, managers, customers, parents, students, owners, vendors, contractors and
others.
· Workplace violence. Although gymnastics may not be considered at "high risk" for
potential violence, the welfare of others and your own safety are at stake.
