Risk Assessment for Interact Project
(see Penwith College one on Moodle for full details.)
Look specifically at what the risk is- break it down- and what you can do to cover it.
Risk; technical faults with the equipment. What you can do to cover it; PAC test.
Risk; tripping over leads / equipment. Cover; tape down wires, making sure your leads are long enough. Plan carefully where all leads are going to go; make careful choices.
Fire; who oversees it? Council: if you are working in a council - run establishment, the council oversees it. You are protected by council health and safety regulations. Make sure you know the procedures. If you are in a night-club there` s no backup like this; be aware.
Risk; false accusations made against you. How to avoid it; avoid scenarios where you can end up on your own with someone you are working with.
Most centres have their own further risk assessments safeguarding each individual you are working with and the premises you are working in. Ask centres for copies of their own individual risk assessments.
Risk; people acting irresponsibly. What you can do: set an example with your own behaviour.
CRB Check; you may need to have one done. Everybody who works with vulnerable people will have had one.
Risk; electric shocks. Avoidance; no food or drink near the equipment.
Hearing damage; protection: earplugs.
Risk; individual medical conditions, eg. epilepsy: flash on cameras may cause a fit. Avoidance; always ask before you do everything whether it is ok to do it.
Risk; end up having material you are not allowed to use because you didn` t gain consent beforehand. Avoidance: use consent forms.
Risk; unruly behaviour. Avoidance: set clear ground rules. Establish your expectations and make it clear what they are. Some people you are working with may not be aware of how they are expected to behave or the dangers involved.
Risk; you are in a situation you can` t handle. Avoidance: understand the need to refer. Know where your job finishes and someone else` s comes in.
Risk; being patronising or speaking to people in an inappropriate way. Avoidance; be aware of relevant legislation, eg, the mental health capacity act. Use clear language and be aware of boundaries.
Risk; not being inclusive. Avoidance: planning. Activity must be accessible to all the students involved. It is very important to take this into account.
