People walking around the room could fall over the chairs.

People moving around the room could fall over the loose cables.

Anyone sat around the computers and it could electrocute them.People walking around could potentially fall over the bags.

If a fire starts it could harm anyone in the room.

People stood near the door could be hit by it if someone is opening the door.

People moving around might hit their foot on the pipes.

There is space to walk between the rows and gaps under the tables to tuck the chairs in. Also, people shouldn’t be moving around the room.

Cables are organised behind the computers and through holes in the desk. Cables are anchored to the PC tower out of the way.

No one is allowed drinks near the computers.There is enough space under the desks to place bags and belongings at underneath out the way.Fans are already built into the PC tower to try and prevent any fires from starting.

The door has glass so you can see through it to see if anyone is near the door and it is reinforced glass so it won’t smash.

There are rules in place so that people aren’t moving around in the first place.

Always put the chairs under the desks.

Use of cable tidies.

Enforce the rules of not having drinks.Enforce the rules of keeping bags under the table out of the way.

Do not leave the computers on overnight so they are not being overused and prevents any chance of a fire.Make sure people aren’t moving around the room.

Put a cover over the pipes so that no one is able to be harmed by them. Enforce rules so people aren’t moving around and then they won’t be able to hurt themselves on the pipes.

High objects

People moving around could bump into the table which sticks out.

People sat at the table could be harmed if one of the speakers on the wall fell off.

There are rules in place so that people aren’t moving around in the radio room.The objects on the wall are drilled into the wall so they would stay on it without falling off.

Enforce the rules of not moving around.

Make sure that the objects on the wall are secure before starting the live show.

1. List hazards something with the potential to cause harm here:Seek to quantify the level of risk the likelihood of harm arising based on the number of persons affected, how often they are exposed to the hazard and the severity of any consequence.

2. List groups of people who are especially at risk from the significant hazards which you have identified3. List existing controls here or note where the information may be found4. List the risks which are not adequately controlled and the action you will take. Have regard for the level of risk, the cost of any action and the benefit you expect to

gain.

RISK RATING

a SEVERITY b LIKELIHOOD c FINAL SCORE RATING: what needs to be done

5 Dying or being permanently disabled 5 Will almost certainly happen 16-25 Stop! Do not start activity again until risk is controlled

4 Serious injury/long term illness 4 Highly likely to happen 10-15 High risk level, High priority. Take action straight away to control the risk

3 Temporary disability/3 days off sick 3 Not so likely 6-9 Medium risk level. Tighten up controls and make a plan to do something about risk

2 Will need medical attention 2 Even less likely 3-5 Fairly low risk level. Low priority but keep possible action in mind

1 Minor injury e.g. Bruise, graze 1 Unlikely to happen at all 1-2 Low or trivial risk. No further action required.

SO: a x b = c
