This document assesses risks associated with various activities and determines appropriate risk levels and mitigation strategies. It identifies running in the streets as a low risk, being in an abandoned building as moderate risk but can be reduced to low by not touching surroundings. Crouching over embers poses a moderate risk that can become low by clearing the floor area and using safety equipment like fire extinguishers. Going across train tracks is low risk if taken seriously and vacating when trains approach. Being in cornfields or woodlands risks getting lost or injured but remains low if staying near others and being careful of surroundings.

1. 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.
