Risk assessment continued
Below are a few examples of the possible risks and hazards that you may be
able to identify from studying your event site plan. |
|
|
Access to your event. Possible risks could include narrow country lanes
making it difficult for pedestrians, vehicles and emergency services to access
the event, resulting in a high possibility that a pedestrian may be hit by a
vehicle. |
|
|
Your event site.
The risks and hazards you are looking for range from animal faeces from farm
stock, possible risk of bacterial infection particularly for young
children. Nearby water risks from ponds, rivers and streams. Uneven ground and
very steep slopes, a possible risk for elderly folk. Power cables overhead and
on the ground from mains, possible risk of electrocution (balloons on string
etc). |
|
|
Equipment. Pour positioning of any hired equipment, preventing easy
access for emergency services, exposed wires and cabling leading to possible
risk of tripping, inadequate restricted area notices, in areas such as catering
facilities, gas and generators etc. |
|
|
|
Entertainment and amusements. Displays and parades involving animals,
vehicles, weapons, flames, special effects, parachuting will need to be risk
assessed for potential hazards. Amusements and stall operators should provide
you with a safety certificate, a written risk assessment and insurance cover
certificate. |
