risk assesments

[pollyw]

maybe a silly question but how often do i have to do my risk assesments?
i do the one for the house checking for sockets covers etc everyday but do i need to do the ones for outings like to the park and library everytime we go or assess the risk once and then review it everynow and then? thanks

riSK ASSESSMENT LOCAL SHOPS



ISSUE HOW TO MANAGE IT
HAZARD (to whom and likelihood) What procedure will be in place
Transport *We will walk with the children either in pushchair or holding hands
Behaviour *I talk to the children before we leave the house about behaviour and stranger danger
* If any child is sick I have my mobile telephone with me to contact parents

Shops *I make a visual inspection of the shops
* Toilet facilities are available
*When we arrive we go straight to the information desk as if any child gets lost they MUST go straight there

risK ASSESSMENT - LOCAL WALK



ISSUE HOW TO MANAGE IT
HAZARD (to whom and likelihood) What procedures will be in place
Pre-visit/walk



Road Safety



Behaviour * I will visit local roads
* I will be made aware of planned activities before I leave the house

* I will hold hands or the children will hold the pushchair at all times


* I talk to the children before we leave the house about road safety and behaviour expected of them
* If a child is ill I have my mobile telephone with me and I will telephone the parents or guardian in order for the child to be collected
hope they help :)

You are supposed to be checking outings risk assessments before each outing to make sure they are still valid :D
