Risk Assessment
For each risk item identified, a likelihood index is shown in brackets. The index reflects the expected likelihood of the listed incident occurring. The index is shown below. Incident Likelihood Index: (1) * (2) Likely * (3) Possible / Mid-Likelihood * (4) Unlikely * (5) Extremely Unlikely
It should be noted that where a Likelihood Index has been assigned to a perceived area of potential risk, this index number takes into account the operating procedures that are in place to prevent this from occurring, or prevent injury.
Section One. ACTIVITY AREAS 1.) CLIMBING AND ABSEILING The following potential hazards have been identified as being particular to this activity area: * a.) Equipment failure - failure of critical belay devices, anchor points or rope could lead to injury through falling from the climbing wall. (5) * b.) Unsupervised use of the facility when a session is not in operation could lead to injury through falling from the climbing wall. (5) * c.) Anyone not following important safety instructions and information could lead to minor injury through inappropriate behaviour during the session. (4) * d.) Poor or unsafe instruction - poor instruction or operation of the climbing wall could lead to serious injury to participants (5) * e.) Clothing or hair becoming trapped in friction devices could lead to injury. (4)

In all of the situations listed above it would be most likely that in the event of any incident that it would be children and visiting teachers who would be involved or injured, although points a. and b. also relate to Robinwood staff members.
In order to minimise these potential risks, the company employs the following operational procedures: * i.) All equipment is checked on a session basis and any damaged equipment discarded. All load bearing ropes are rotated on a regular basis. A full
