Stakeholder Views on the Potential Benefits and Feasibility of an Equestrian Industry-Specific Health, Safety and Welfare Management System.

Abstract: With the growth of the equestrian industry, risk exposure and the obligation to maintain the health, safety, and welfare of humans and horses remain front and centre. As there has been no apparent reduction in non-fatal human horse-related injuries, we asked industry stakeholders to discuss their current management and risk mitigation practices and highlight potential barriers to improving these processes. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 stakeholders from Australian equestrian work- ( = 9) and non-work- ( = 11) related organisations to determine the potential benefits and feasibility of adopting an industry-specific health, safety, and welfare (HSW) management system. The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management framework, often used by high-risk industries, guided deductive data coding. Most participants preferred formal HSW management systems and supported improvements in their current HSW practices. Industry gaps included (1) lack of training, education material, and competency; (2) social licence to operate (SLO) regarding horse welfare; and (3) management of and resistance to change. Industry barriers included (1) lack of good governance and (2) poor safety culture related to tradition and human behaviours. Most stakeholders sought further collaboration, HSW guidance materials, and national industry representation opportunities, with supporting the concept of an adaptable industry-specific HSW management system. Further multi-sector equestrian stakeholder engagement is recommended to determine the feasibility of adopting and modifying (ISO) 45001:2018 as a suitable equestrian industry-specific HSW management system.

Summary

This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.

Overview

  • This study explored the perspectives of stakeholders in the Australian equestrian industry regarding the benefits and practicality of implementing a health, safety, and welfare (HSW) management system tailored specifically for the equestrian sector.
  • The research identifies current gaps, barriers, and opportunities for improving health and safety practices for both humans and horses through an industry-specific system.

Background and Context

  • The equestrian industry is growing, which increases the exposure to risks for both people and horses involved in the sector.
  • Non-fatal injuries related to horses remain frequent, signaling a persistent safety issue that needs addressing.
  • Current management and risk mitigation practices within the industry vary and may not adequately reduce injury rates.
  • The study focuses on both work-related and non-work-related equestrian organizations in Australia.

Research Methodology

  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 stakeholders representing various Australian equestrian organizations.
  • The participants included 9 stakeholders from work-related equestrian sectors and 11 from non-work-related organizations.
  • The data analysis was guided by the ISO 45001:2018 framework for Occupational Health and Safety Management, a standard used in other high-risk industries.
  • This framework provided a deductive coding approach to analyze the interview data around health, safety, and welfare management concepts.

Key Findings: Industry Gaps

  • Lack of Training and Competency: Insufficient education materials and formal training exist to develop the necessary skills and competencies in health and safety practices.
  • Social Licence to Operate (SLO) Regarding Horse Welfare: There is a concern about maintaining public trust and meeting societal expectations for animal welfare in the industry.
  • Resistance to Change and Management Challenges: Some traditional practices and attitudes hinder the adoption of improved safety measures.

Key Findings: Industry Barriers

  • Poor Governance: Lack of clear, strong leadership and structured governance within the industry weakens coordinated health and safety efforts.
  • Safety Culture Influenced by Tradition and Human Behavior: Long-standing norms and behaviors negatively impact the adoption of safety measures and risk reduction strategies.

Stakeholders’ Perspectives on Health, Safety, and Welfare Systems

  • Most stakeholders favored formalized HSW management systems tailored specifically to the equestrian industry.
  • There was support for enhancing existing practices to better protect humans and horses involved in equestrian activities.
  • Stakeholders expressed interest in further collaboration across the sector to develop resources and guidance materials.
  • There was a desire for stronger national industry representation to support unified efforts and improve governance.
  • The concept of adapting the ISO 45001:2018 standard for equestrian use received positive consideration as a feasible approach to creating an industry-specific HSW system.

Recommendations and Future Directions

  • The study recommends engaging a wider range of equestrian stakeholders to explore the feasibility and design of a customized health, safety, and welfare management system.
  • This will include considering modifications to the ISO 45001:2018 framework to make it relevant and practical for the unique risks and contexts of equestrian activities.
  • By addressing training needs, governance issues, and cultural barriers, the industry can better mitigate risks and improve outcomes for people and horses.
  • Future work should focus on building consensus and developing tailored tools to support safety culture change and governance improvements across the equestrian sector.
