Risk Assessment for Road Safety Practitioners

Overview:

Road Safety Practitioners are increasingly having to carry out Risk Assessments in
their daily work.  These assessments can be generic within an activity, for example
cycle training, or specific to a location, for example a walking bus route.  This course
examines how to spot hazards, how to identify who is at risk and how to evaluate
levels of risk.  The importance of documentation and Risk Assessment policy is also
described.

This course is also recognised for Phase 3 Road Safety Officer training.

Aims and Objectives:

• To encourage delegates to use risk assessment techniques within road safety
• To develop an understanding of how risk assessments can encourage road
  safety activity to take place within a controlled environment
• To facilitate workshop activity and discussion regarding which techniques are
  most appropriate to use in specific circumstances

Topics Covered:

• Risks, Hazards, Danger and Accidents
  Delegates will: undertake a quiz to identify hazards from a series of photographs,
  and gain an understanding of the difference between a "hazard" and a "risk"
• Examples of RA from Industry and Transportation
  Delegates will: gain an appreciation of the widespread use of risk assessment in
  industry and transportation
• Evaluation of Risk
