Hazard Identified? /
Risks from it?
Who is at risk?
Gross Risk Rating
How are the risks already controlled?
What extra controls are needed?
Net Risk Rating
Actions for further Controls
Hazard – something that may cause harm or damage.
Risk – the chance of it happening.
Young people,
Leaders,
Visitors?
The gross risk rating is a combination of the likelihood of the risk happening and the impact should no mitigating actions be taken.
Controls – Ways of making the activity safer by removing or reducing the risk from it.
For example - you might use a different piece of equipment or you might change the way the activity is carried out.
The net risk rating is a combination of the likelihood of the risk happening and the impact once the mitigating actions have been taken.
These are further actions which have either been identified or are in the process of being implemented to provide additional control to mitigate risks
Control of access to "protected" areas:
Unexpected access
Unsupervised young people
All Present

Strongly protected areas appropriate to activity inside:
   - Rope on floor
   - Rope/tape on pigtails
   - Harris fencing

Gates/Entrances must be obvious
   - Signage
   - Difference in boundary

Gates/entrances must be located so queues are not directed towards other protected areas.
   - Use barriers to enforce queue direction if necessary

Higher risk activities may need a queue manager at the gate to ensure young people don't pass through.

(Risk in this circumstance is gauged by risk of injury through extra people entering the "protected" zone; e.g. sharps, fire, etc.)


Trips/slips/falls in queue
Everyone
Reduce boredom by reducing queue lengths.

If queues are present use leaders moving around area to monitor behaviour in queues

Trips/slips/falls moving around area.Everyone
Sweep area before young people arrive looking for trip hazards and remove.

All available leaders to monitor area and look for behaviour likely to result in trip/slip/fall and stop it.
