LIVE RISK ASSESSMENT

Tewkesbury Junior Anglers: Club Session @ Mythe Pool

FINAL STATUS NO-GO (CANCELLED)
OVERALL RISK LEVEL CRITICAL
Primary Reason: A critical failure point in vehicle access, compounded by hazardous conditions and insufficient coaching staff, makes the session unsafe.

ANALYSIS OF KEY HAZARDS

VEHICLE ACCESS

RISK: CRITICAL
Likelihood (5) x Severity (4) = 20

The only access track is muddy, rutted, and impassable for cars. With no alternative parking, this is the overriding failure point.

BANKSIDE CONDITIONS

RISK: HIGH
Likelihood (4) x Severity (3) = 12

Steep, muddy gradients combined with extremely slippery wooden platforms create a constant and significant risk of slips and falls.

WEATHER & ENVIRONMENT

RISK: HIGH
Likelihood (5) x Severity (2) = 10

Persistent rain worsens slip hazards. A steady crosswind will make float fishing frustrating for juniors, reducing their concentration on safety.

EMERGENCY LOGISTICS

RISK: HIGH
Likelihood (2) x Severity (5) = 10

The impassable access track would severely delay or prevent an ambulance from reaching a casualty and makes safe evacuation impossible.

SUPERVISION LEVELS

RISK: CRITICAL
Likelihood (4) x Severity (4) = 16

A shortage of angling coaches severely reduces the ability to manage all other on-site risks effectively, compromising direct oversight and safety in hazardous conditions.
