Risk Assessment

Identify the task

What are the risks associated with each activity?

Is the risk low, moderate, significant or high?

If the risk is deemed unacceptable for the task, what will be done to reduce or remove the risk

By whom? AND by when?

Now strategies have been put in place reassess the risk

People running

through the streets.

People could run into each other or trip resulting in injury.

Low If the risk was deemed unacceptable people would have to move briskly rather than run.

I think there is a low risk of injury.

Being in an abandoned building

Anything could potentially collapse if put under extreme stress

Moderate To reduce the chance of any risks the surrounding area will not be touched

The risk is now low

Crouching over embers

Potential to burn one’s self or create a fire if there are dry materials in the area

Moderate To reduce the risk the floor area shall be cleared and the location of the embers shall be guarded by rocks preventing embers from escaping. Safety equipment such as extinguishers will also be on sight

Low

Going across train tracks

Getting stuck on the tacks or a train going across the tracks

Low Don’t treat the tracks like a game, everything done within the area will need to be taken seriously. When train lights show vacate the area.

Low

Being in corn fields or woodland area

Getting lost or injuring yourself in the surrounding environment.

Low Stay within proximity of the surrounding people and be careful of the surrounding area.
