Hi could someone please help answer this?
I have no idea on even how to start to answer it?

Scenario 1- Wet Weather
It has been raining heavily all weekend. The heavy rain and wind has caused the
following damage to the outdoor area:
• Part of the path leading to the front entry has cracked and lifted, creating an uneven
surface.
• Several of the trees in the outdoor area have lost branches which are scattered around
the path and play area.
The rain has also found its way indoors:
• Water has leaked into the staffroom from the ceiling and the fridge is standing in water.
• The water has spread to the carpeted area and the carpet is soaked

1. With reference to ‘6 Steps to Risk Management’ suggest the control measures that you would use in relation to:

The fridge standing in water:
and
The cracked front path:

Any help would be great Thanks

Hi Danielle,

How did you go with this question?

I am currently working through this question but having never done a risk assessment before i am unsure.

I have put as my answers:
path cracked and lifted - moderate
branches around play area - moderate
fridge standing in water - critical
carpet soaked - low

If anyone could advise if I am on the right track that would be great.

Thanks
Mel
