Risk assessment is the process of identifying and characterising HAZARDS, analysing and evaluating RISKS, and determining the
appropriate options for RISK CONTROL.
In practice, it boils down to a careful examination of what could cause harm to people, so that you can decide whether enough precautions
have been taken or whether you need to do more to prevent harm.
HAZARD: A hazard is anything with the potential to cause harm.
RISK: A risk is the likelihood or probability that a hazard will cause actual harm to someone. Risk depends upon:
• the number of people who may be affected by a hazard;
• the frequency of their exposure to the hazard;
• the severity of the consequences; and
• precautions already in place.
Risk control: Control measures are the arrangements made or precautions taken to reduce risk. For example:
• Preventative measures e.g. making some areas out-of-bounds.
• Protective measures e.g. ensuring group have suitable clothing.
• Extra insurance cover.
To assess the hazards and risks associated with your event you should:
• Visit the site and check all buildings and routes you will use.
• Plan, research and time all activities thoroughly.
• Be aware of the numbers, ages and abilities of those participating.
• Seek expert help if you do not have the knowledge to undertake a robust risk assessment.
Please ensure that you keep a copy of your risk assessment on file.
