Anything that may cause harm In a building
Electrics Cleaning materials. Fire
Could be considered as potential hazards

IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS
SLIDE 13
Anything that may cause harm On activities
The water Boats & rigging Weather
Could be considered as potential hazards
2
IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS
SLIDE 14
What injuries or accidents may arise from each hazard?
3
IDENTIFY THE RISKS The water - Drowning Boats & rigging – head injuries Weather
SLIDE 15

IDENTIFY WHO MIGHT BE HARMED
The precautions you put in place may vary according to whether those at risk;
Sailors Instructors General public …….. are children, adults might be expected to be able to read or adhere to instructions. Have a defined level of skill, knowledge or awareness
SLIDE 16
5
IDENTIFY WHAT PRECAUTIONS ALREADY EXIST
Precautions
Things that can be done to reduce the risk
Remove the hazard Exclude those people at risk Warning signage Training / education ……….
SLIDE 17
Are the precaution already in place still adequate? If not, then
5
IDENTIFY WHAT PRECAUTIONS ALREADY EXIST
6
IDENTIFY WHAT OTHER PRECAUTIONS ARE NECESSARY
SLIDE 18
7
RECORD YOUR FINDINGS
Risk Assessment Include precautions in Standard Operating
procedures.
SLIDE 19

Periodically Review Your Risk Assessment
New Hazards New Risks New categories of people who might be
harmed
New precautions available ……….
SLIDE 20
Its not rocket science!
SLIDE 21
Group Conduct risk assessment of;
1 Sailing Area in front of Club 2 Safety Boat Operations 3 Level 3 sailing trip across lake. 4 Dinghy park / foreshore 5 Regional dinghy regatta
SLIDE 22
Who should conduct a risk assessment?
Professional risk assessor? Safety Officer? Club manager? Senior Instructor? Competent person familiar with environment?
Don’t underestimate the knowledge & skills within your
- rganisation.
Don’t overestimate the ability of an outsider to provide you with appropriate solutions.
SLIDE 23
And finally consider…..
Can all risk be controlled? Do we want to remove all risk?

- In this ranking system
both 4 & 5 would be both be unacceptable risks.
- It may be possible to
mitigate risk 4 to a lower level with specific controls in place.
