R U A Dummy 2? - Risk education pack
An understanding of risk can help us manage our lives. Young people need to understand the difference between danger and risk. By assessing the risks involved in a dangerous activity they can make informed choices about their actions. Concerned about the number of injuries amongst those most likely to engage in risk taking behaviour, RoSPA in partnership with The Environment Agency realised there was a need for free resources to assist young people in understanding risk taking behaviour in all aspects of their lives,
The video CD and teacher / leaders notes are aimed at stimulating an informed discussion about risk taking behaviour. The pack is suitable for teenagers and mature younger people. The packs are free, but we have limited supplies. More information about the pack and for ordering can be sought on the R U A Dummy2? pages.
National Water Safety Signs
The provision of signage information is a key tool for any landowner in ensuring that they fully discharge their duty of care to the public. Warnings and safety information are an important part of any risk management strategy, whether reinforcing other control measures, or when standing alone as the key means of protection. This poser outlines the standardised pictograms and meanings for the new national water safety signs. The poster is available as a pdf document (151 kb) or can be ordered online as an A3 poster.
