Hazard
- is something that has the potential to cause harm;
such as falling
rocks, tides, hammering.
Risk
-
a combination of the probability that an accident
might occur and the
amount of harm caused.
Safety
Measures - the proposed action you propose to take to
minimise the risk e.g. wear
hard hats, instruct participants not to paddle in a sludge
lagoon, wear safety
specs when hammering. Please also refer to the Society's
safety policy.
Remember: you

hazards and safety measures to the attention of the party
at the start of the
field meeting.
