LT2E05N - Seminar 10

In week 10, we had to conduct a risk assesment for our event. The reason for creating a risk assesment is to evaluate any vulnerabilities, threats, likelihood, loss or impact, and theoretical effectiveness of security measures. This is to determine expected loss and establish the degree of acceptability to system operations. By Seeking out all the potential hazards, we can act upon these. It is important to maintain regular checks to ensure that we comply with health and safety requirements. Conducting regular risk assessments helps protect us from the risk of fines or being sued by an employee or any of our guests.

To evaluate the risk assesment in our event, we followed the five steps in the leaflet given out my Tom Lunt on webCT.
Identify the Hazards
• Decide who could be harmed and how
• Evaluate the risk and decide on precaution
• Record Our findings and implement them
• Review our assesment and update anything that is neccassary
