Attachment A:

Framework and templates for risk assessment and risk management

The Scout Risk Management Process Identify the risks Identify all hazards. What sorts of things have the potential to cause harm or loss?

Assess the risks Assess and prioritise the risks that these hazards create and deal with highest priority risk first. What could happen and what might the consequences be?

Decide how to treat the risks Decide on measures to control the risks. Can you eliminate the risk? Substitute a venue? Use personal protective equipment? Bring in an expert? Substitute an activity of lesser risk? Substitute real risk for perceived risk?

Implement control measures Implement appropriate control measures. Act to control or eliminate the risk.

Monitor and review Monitor the control measures and review the process. Is what you are doing working? Does it meet industry standards? What might you need to amend? Are activity goals/outcomes still being achieved?

My NAME is:


Using this matrix the risk rating is determined by where the Likelihood and Consequences intersect, giving a rating of low, moderate, significant or high.

LIKELIHOOD DESCRIPTION

Almost certain The event is expected to occur in most circumstances

Likely The event will probably occur in most circumstances

Possible The event might (or should) occur at some time

Unlikely The event could occur at some time

Rare The event may only occur in exceptional circumstances

CONSEQUENCES DESCRIPTION

Insignificant Low level impact with negligible consequences on the Branch aim or activity objectives that can be controlled by routine management procedures (no injuries, negligible financial loss or disruption to non-essential infrastructure)

Minor The consequences would threaten the efficiency or effectiveness of achieving some aspects of Scouts Australia’s aim or activity objectives, requiring management effort to minimise impact (minimum financial loss, injuries requiring first aid only, minor reputational impact or disruption to non-essential infrastructure)

Moderate A significant /medium potential of affecting the achievement of Scouts Australia’s aim or activity objectives (moderate financial loss or reputational impact, injuries requiring medical treatment only, medium term loss of some essential infrastructure).

Major A very high potential to impair the achievement of Scouts Australia’s aim or activity objectives (major financial loss or reputational impact, significant occupational, health, safety and welfare incident/s, long term loss of some critical infrastructure).

Catastrophic An extreme potential to threaten the sustainability of the organisation or its aim and activities (huge financial loss or reputational impact, very serious occupational health safety and welfare incident/s, permanent loss of critical infrastructure).

RISK PRIORITY ACTION

High A high risk is one that must be dealt with immediately. Executive management normally monitors high risks.

Significant A significant risk is one that should be dealt with after attending to high level risks. Senior managers normally monitor significant risks.

Moderate A moderate risk is one that can be dealt with by applying routine procedures and is normally dealt with by local managers at the Branch/Group level.

Low Risks in this category may be accepted but should be monitored periodically to ensure the rating does not change.

Some Scouts only had 2L or less. One of the 20L containers was empty on arrival. Only one reminder during long day was not adequate. Some Scouts failed to reapply at any time.

Swimming

Submerged Objects Spinal Injuries Drowning

Participants are expected to wear shoes and PFD’s whilst swimming. Before entering the water the area should be assessed for hazards such as submerged logs or tree roots. The participants’ medical form indicates whether they are confident to swim 50m which gives an indication of swimming ability. Safety guidelines should be set according to the area e.g. boundaries Swimming is to be supervised by an adult. Buddy system will be used. No jumping or diving from jetties, banks or trees

Most PFDs were not properly fitted, wrong sizes, and some were not buckled up. Scouts were not told about any boundaries. Consequently they spread out and some drifted down stream with the current, out of rescue range. Buddy System was not used. “No jumping” rule was not policed and jumping from a tree became more prolific as activity continued.

My NAME is:


Recommendations: 1. Allocate responsibility for sunscreen reminders and application supervision to one team member who should do this at the start of each rest or food break. 2. Team members need to be better briefed on the risk management controls for the Swimming activity –conduct a training session. The observed issues have been discussed with the activity team leader.
