Any condition or substance that has the POTENTIAL to cause injury or harm to the health of a person
When this potential is realized the outcome is an incident or accident
What is a Hazard
![Page 8: Smart schools are Safe schools Risk Assessment. If it’s not written down or recorded it doesn’t exist.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e875503460f94b8b9fb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Major cause of incidents and ill health is due to the inability of people to identify hazards because of :
A lack of information Inadequate training and confirming comprehension of training

Hazard Classification

· Conduct regular housekeeping and general school environment inspections.

How to Spot Hazards
![Page 11: Smart schools are Safe schools Risk Assessment. If it’s not written down or recorded it doesn’t exist.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e875503460f94b8b9fb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How to Spot Hazards· Consultation is very powerful in identifying hazards
· Ask "what if" questions:
What if the unexpected happens?
What if that fell, burst or leaked?
What if someone tripped over that?
What if someone unauthorized enters the area?
What if someone does that job when they are tired, or rushed?
What if someone touched/sniffed that?
· Look at everything including out of the way storage areas and consider off- site risks for example excursions, fetes, sports.

But don’t assume….?
That just because you’ve done it before the hazards are the same.
There is a very wide range of possible hazards, and these may be at different times, in different places, under different conditions.

The purpose of Risk Management*
Looking & analysingPro-actively (the future)
rather than just Reactively (the past)
* - non insurance

First stage -Discover all the hazards you have
Second Stage - Decide how important each one is
Third Stage - Do something about the hazards
Fourth Stage - Don’t stop now …keep working on it

ÞThere are no hard and fast rules to defining acceptable risk.
Þ All activities have risks associated with them.Þ No activity is guaranteed absolutely safe.Þ The decision whether to carry on with an activity
requires you to assess the possible effects of the hazards and the probabilities of them occurring.
What is an acceptable risk ?

Þ In the end you must decide whether those risks are acceptable: whether they are outweighed by the advantages to be gained.
ÞAnd that final decision needs clear thought,judgement, experience and the benefit of discussion with colleagues.
