10CNPE Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment 

A risk assessment is identifying potential hazards and evaluating the likelihood and severity of harm that could result from those hazards.

Need to do one before a session so people know it is safe. 

So you are allowed to do it.

Mark scheme = appropriate, safe. 

Ignore for now

Put name. 

Where are you doing the session. 

Leave date completed until you do the session- because a risk assessment needs to be done before a session. 

Hazards

A hazard is a danger or a possibility of an injury to happen, or in some serious incidents- death. 

What kind of hazards can you come up with for your session?

Link from mind map- 

- People who already have injuries: Do you know about it? 

- People who have asthma? - do they have their inhaler? Do you know?
