- A risk assessment is only effective if you and leadership team act on it. You must follow through with any actions required and review it on a regular basis.
<\/li> - Don\u2019t just copy the examples, your circumstances are unique and so you need to do a risk assessment appropriate to your setting, making sure you are clear on the hazards and controls.
<\/li> - Even if the hazards you see are the same as in the examples, the controls may differ, so make sure you are being clear on what you will be doing in your location to control the risks and then follow through on these controls.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Remember the template we provide is just that, and if you have an alternative template you are comfortable with that is ok to use to. You can use templates, online applications, record your risks in OSM against the activity or the section, even making simple notes or annotating your session plans can document your thinking… <\/p>\n
