• Object stacked precariously that could full- object fulling on children head can course damage
• Medications- medication a dangerous to a child it can cause them to end up in hospital
• Noisy machinery- hearing lose due to the loud noises
• Broken toys- can cut or hurt a child and cause more damage

• Any sharp or point objects- stab them self or another person or poke someone eyes out

• Metal objects that have been in the sun- burntor scalded
• Hard surfaces- if a child fulls over they can get bruses
• Thing that protrude or tangle- kids can get tangled up in them and chock them self or stangle another kid with it.

• Fire- a child can get Burt, inhale to much smoke.
• Water or liquid split on the ground- a child can slip over and crack there head open, bruising, other broken bones
• Carefully cover the cutting edge of the tin cans with tape and wrapping the cans with strong brown paper. This will avoid the children getting cut during the play and while handling the cans during the decoration (kids are to make their own tin can using coloured paper, stickers, markers).
• instead of just marking a line with masking tape, I would make a box where the person throwing has to remain inside and the others waiting have to remain outside. This will avoid the kids smacking one another or bumping into each other.
• Set the table in an isolated area where other kids cannot be hit by the ball and away from windows or things that could get damaged.
• Sunscreen and hats before the play.
• A quick time-out in the middle of the game to drink some water and have a rest.

Yes, you're on the right track with your response. I'm adding some others ideas as well:

frayed cords - cause fire from sparks
chemicals - poison
objects stacked - could be fragile, break and cause cuts
medication - cause allergic reaction
sliding door - hand can get jammed
cot accessories - cause choking, strangulation, suffocation

Hope this helps,
