risk assessment
Transcript: CLIMBING (OUTDOORS) These are put in place to control the risk of any potential hazards. These work by making the environment of the activities safer, and less hazardous. An example of a controlled measure for outdoor climbing could be the quality of the equipment. If the equipment such as the harness has a tears and is fraying, this is a unsafe harness and needs to be replaced immediately before injury or potential death occurs. KAYAKING CANOEING Drowning- Warn people about possible problems (death) and the current, also the ability of their paddling skills. Other participants - Keep all participants under control. Faulty equipment - Check all equipment before use (no cracks in the paddle) and replace if damaged. Wildlife issues - Keep away from wildlife, they may attack if feel threatened. Weather issues - Be prepared for bad conditions by bringing walkie talkies, and any other appropriate equipment. MTB Trees- Check the route before begging the cycling trip, and insure all helmets are worn correctly. This will insure a good level of safety and help to prevent any head injury. Animals- Tell your cycling Group to leave all animals alone, and not to touch them as this could result in minor injury. Enforcing this rule should stop any minor injury from occurring. Equipment- Give the Bike an (M Check) Before cycling the bike, and insure all safety equipment is working properly and is safe to use. This is to avoid any fault with the bike, and if any faults are noticed then it gives the rider a chance to repair them before the cycle journey. Weather- Check the weather forecast before the cycle trip, and if it has rained try to avoid muddy/slippery routes as this could result in falling off your bike. Checking the weather and re planning your route if you need to can help make your bike journey more enjoyable and safer. Members of the public-Have a bell or something that can signal the members of the public that you are approaching them, and keep an eye out for people with small children who are likely to run out in front of you. This will stop any unnecessary injury caused by the bikers behalf. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES All activities will have a emergency procedures. this will rely on how serious the danger is. Serious - the session will have to be stopped and the area of the danger cleared leaving the instructor to deal with the danger in a safe manure. Bad - the session may need to be stopped however the instructor should be able to remove the danger and still be able to keep everyone safe with out placing him/herself in danger. Mild- the session will carry on and the instructor will keep a close eye to prevent the hazard become a stronger threat. WALKING & CAMPING THE CONTROLLED MEASURED Climbing has an effect on the rock in the form of erosion, the wearing away of the landscape. Also some birds live in the rock faces that people use to climb, this causes noise pollution scaring the birds away. Also the constant digging into the rock face for holds to put screws in wears away the rock and chips bits off the rock. THE COTROL MEASURES This affects the environment by people falling in the water and their dirty clothes and odors leak into the water. Climbing Affecting the Environment Walking Affecting the Environment The control measures for walking/ camping are; avoiding the wildlife this will make sure that no or little accidents happen while out walking and camping. Also checking equipment before before using will make sure no mistakes will happen while using the equipment, making sure the tents have the right amount of poles and pegs and making sure that your walking boots are suitable. Checking the weather forecast before going to see if it safe to go camping where you plan to go, and also check what the weather has been like for the last couple of days. Reading up upon the route you are going to walk along making sure that you are prepared, having the right equipment and all good enough to walk the route. Risk Assessment review Mountain biking affects on the Environment THE CONTROLLED MEASURES Walking affects the earth, the constant amount of people walking threw a certain bit will erode the earth and ground. Causing the the paths to erode and become more muddy and torn up, also any ground animals on the path will get trampled and possibly killed. The noise from people talking and shouting the woods cause noise pollution scaring local animals and causing them the flee to quieter areas. Kayaking and Canoeing Affects on Environment THE CONTROLLED MEASURES Climbing has an effect on the rock in the form of erosion, the wearing away of the landscape. Also some birds live in the rock faces that people use to climb, this causes noise pollution scaring the birds away. Also the constant digging into the rock face for holds to put screws in wears away the rock and chips bits off the rock. CLIMBING (OUTDOORS) Mountain biking, similar to walking also erodes the earth and turfs the ground up making it really muddy, also
