Risk assessment continued After studying your plan you should have been able to identify where
possible risk and hazards could occur. Now you need to write out how those risks
could be avoided through either moving something or putting controls and plans
in place should a problem arise. We have provided you with a couple of examples
below to help you with.
Example 1 Description of hazard or risk
Deep stream running along edge of field with a steep grass slope running into
it. Type of risk or hazard High risk of somebody slipping and falling in, resulting in injury or
possible drowning. Action to be taken to reduce the risk
Secure security fence to be erected along stream boundary or stewards to patrol
boundary to deter people from the area. First aid staff to be informed of water
hazard and to have resuscitation training.
Example 2 Description of hazard or risk Steam engines, farming vehicles having to cross public areas to access the
main arena area.
Type of risk or hazard High possible risk of serious accident to the public.
Action to be taken to reduce the risk Create a cordoned off access area for vehicles to enter the arena with
stewards patrolling and organise specific public crossing areas.
