LIVE RISK ASSESSMENT
Tewkesbury Junior Anglers: Club Session @ Mythe Pool
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.
