Hazards and Risks

We learnt how to identify the risks that hazards can cause. We used our prior knowledge to understand this activity more.

First, we talked about identifying what hazards and risks are. Hazards are something that can be used to cause harm, and risks are the dangerous part of the item/instructions that something will happen and cause harm.

Then, we focused on finding four hazards and four risk at home, school, sport community.

After that, we worked on identifying the risks that the hazards cause. We put our prior knowledge of each risk and hazard into a slideshow.

The following slideshow shows what the hazard is and the risks that the hazard can cause. The hazards are: sticks, keys, students, cleaning spray, siblings, toaster, pets, open windows, mud, mouthguard, arrow, oxygen tank, dust, gas, wet grass and floods.

The purpose of this activity is to use prior knowledge to understand the risks that hazards can cause.
