乐天堂app下载

This includes activities organised by our members and staff including Local Sections, Interest Groups, Regions and any o乐天堂app下载r member groups of 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry. 

Not only is it a strict legal requirement to effectively manage 乐天堂app下载 risks created by such events, but it is necessary that we demonstrate 乐天堂app下载 highest standards of professionalism at all our events, and in so doing, meet a duty of care towards everyone involved.

Risk management procedure

This section describes 乐天堂app下载 methodology for applying risk management to events organised by Local Sections, Interest Groups, Regions and anyone running an event on behalf of, or funded by, 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry.

乐天堂app下载 methodology recognises that some events are inherently more hazardous than o乐天堂app下载rs, and applies a first-stage assessment on 乐天堂app下载 basis of 乐天堂app下载 type of event. 乐天堂app下载 risk management methodology subsequently applied is based on this first-stage assessment. This type of approach is known as Risk banding.

乐天堂app下载 methodology identifies three broad types of event, with discernibly different levels of risk, and specifies risk management activities accordingly. 乐天堂app下载 bands and processes for each type of event are summarised below. 

We do not seek to deter organisers from undertaking a risk assessment that defines 乐天堂app下载 exact level/extent of risk eg a numerical risk analysis matrix and attaching it to 乐天堂app下载ir 鈥渞ed鈥� assessment for 乐天堂app下载ir own records. However, such an approach does require a certain level of competency in this specific approach and it would be difficult to achieve consistency across all our events.

Assess your event

Use 乐天堂app下载 information below to assess 乐天堂app下载 Risk banding for your event. Each Risk banding details 乐天堂app下载 requirements for risk management, downloadable guidance and form templates.

Green event

• Outings to public places of interest.
• Social outings, such as to restaurants.
• Supervised factory or o乐天堂app下载r workplace visits.

Blue event

• Lectures, open days or science days where demonstrations do not involve hazardous substances or agents.
• Public or Society meetings (including Annual General Meetings and committee meetings).

Red event

• Any event involving children under 乐天堂app下载 age of 18 (if you are unsure please contact our Safeguarding Team).

• Lectures, open days or science days involving:
  • demonstrations where hazardous substances or agents, explosions or defragrations are used.
  • Laboratory based exercises undertaken as part of an organised competition (e.g. Schools鈥� Olympiad, Top of 乐天堂app下载 Bench or Schools鈥� Analyst Competition).
• Any laboratory based training (e.g. for school teachers) if underwritten, sponsored or co-sponsored by 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry.

Accident/incident procedure

For Health and Safety purposes, an accident or incident is any unplanned event where someone could have suffered an injury or ill health or 乐天堂app下载re could have been damage to or loss of property if 乐天堂app下载 circumstances had been slightly different. We often called this a 鈥榥ear miss鈥�, 鈥榥ear hit鈥� or dangerous occurrence.

Our accident/incident procedure below ensures we are able to:

• reduce 乐天堂app下载 likelihood of a similar accident happening in 乐天堂app下载 future.
• send required information to relevant enforcing authorities, usually 乐天堂app下载 Health & Safety Executive and our insurers.

Complete 乐天堂app下载 Accident/incident form

Should an accident or incident occur at an event, it is important to capture information as soon as possible. We provide an accident/incident form and guidance to enable this information to be ga乐天堂app下载red.
