Title: Risk Assessment
Post by: afrancis on August 05, 2019, 07:19:41 PM

Our Club has a demonstration day in our local shopping mall this coming Saturday. We have carried out demonstrations in the past but not at this venue. Today we were asked for a copy of a risk assessment and while I can probably write something up from scratch, I wondered if any other clubs have been asked for this and would be prepared to allow me to see it to give me a start.

Whe we did one I based it on the example on the AWGB web site, you will need to adpt it to your own situation.
I did one for the AWGB 30 Birthday Bash, when we had a stall in the local park, the council sent me an example, they used the Christmas Market where they expect 120,000 (yes that is one hundred and twenty thousand!) people over three days, just a bit over the top.

Another vote for the AWGB template, keep it simple and it works get too detailed and more falls out the edge.

All clubs should have risk assessments already - it's a condition of the insurance...

Or get in touch with the new H&S advisor and ask his advice.
