Risk Assessments

It is important that activities carrying a risk are carefully considered before they take place- this is to make sure that your society has happy and safe events throughout the year! Below are some risk assessments that talk about using UMSU rooms for meetings, driving the minibus, and having social events and pub crawls. Please read these and make sure that you follow them when planning your events.

You will need to write your own risk assessments for activities if your society is:

Do any sporting activities
Attending large events, e.g. protest rallies
Running a large event, e.g. an end of year ball or awards ceremony
Your activity includes any sort of combat and/or weaponry
You are travelling abroad or staying away anywhere overnight
Your activity takes you away from having easy access to medical help (e.g. wilderness camping, overnight hikes)
 
There may be other times that at Risk Assessment is needed- if you are unsure please ask at the Activities Office! Please come and see us if you have any questions about risk assessments or need help writing one- we are here to help!
