Risk assessment

Cheating here, anyone got any good ideas for an activity or game etc to help aid teaching people how to do a risk assessment?

Ultimately we’re doing people risk assessments rather than the typical and more obvious hazards (eg slips and trips etc) but any simple exercises if you’ve done any would be useful. I’m trying to innovate and the sun has melted my brain!

What sort of risks? We used to do loads of training and activities when I worked in the prison.

Like if there was a fight and blood and what to do quickly without checking on the system who has hiv or any blood carrying diseases. Or how to predict a riot (sure there's a song in there somewhere!)

What sort of people risks are we talking about?

I haven't ever done a people risk assessment. Just the usual triage stuff to determine levels of, erm, agitation.

Could be violence and aggression, could be supporting someone with serious mental health difficulties, prior offences, physical health conditions - so re that it could be risk assessing to make things safe for someone vulnerable through to risk assessing to ensure someone is not a danger to others.

Looking for activities or games more about understanding the process of how to risk assess though (so in that sense it’s not so important what the risk is).

Just lots of role play I suppose. Take it in turns to act like someone kicking off and how you'd restrain them and calm them down. Lower your tone and check they don't have any weapons and all that kind of stuff.

It's hard, my thing was mainly spotting people that could be potentially violent or people that could kill themselves, we'd monitor how they interact with people, if they're eating, simple stuff like taking care of their personal hygiene or using gym facilities and going outside, looking for signs of depression, drug use.

I've seen a few attempting to mitigate the risks of working with livestock, they always make me chuckle.

I've done an online "pig handling course", along with a load of colleagues, some of whom had been in pig farming for decades. Most of them failed.

Ah no, sorry - it’s re planning risk assessments rather than what to do in a live/dynamic situation. So how to produce a written risk assessment of potential hazards and the five steps of risk assessment.

Role play fun is for a different training day.

Yeah it’s an exercise in itself doing paperbased stuff! (Or online)

They forgot to get the pigs to take the course.

So are you trying to get people to pin point certain risks in the training? With it being people based I'm a little stumped as it's hard to do that with out role play or maybe a video where you spot the potential risks

I asked a few and none of them had read the course material. To be fair, none of them can read so it's hardly their fault.

On a slightly different theme, I did Fire Risk Assessments for business premises back in 2007 - 2010.

In one property, Essex Fire & Rescue held my F R Assessment as the Base Model for other businesses to follow. I've also won praise from other local Govt authorities for similar projects.

Nope, sorry I said re people to explain the ultimate context. It’s training on how to do a risk assessment (the five steps) eg. you could do a risk assessment of boiling an egg. I’ve confused by explaining the later context.

Ok so what about a activity about something silly such as building a tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows that has to be strong but the tallest. they have to do a risk assessment first within their plan. My brains not working this morning but I can see it in my mind

As someone who checks them as part of my job my advice is to get a outside company to do it ! Remember if ANYTHING happens to any persons you are liable not the company you, if someone was hurt or more you would be prosecuted is that worth the £250/450 saving ????

I hear your point but no, this is something part of people’s jobs. Don’t worry.

Thanks for the input.

All went well, used tried and tested activities rather than invent the wheel
