Over to you!Circle on the paper the hazards that you can see

  • Identify the hazards in the pictures, and explain the risks,
  • For example, the fire exit is blocked. People might not be able to escape and could be in danger
  • How can we prevent these hazards from happening?
  • Think of some of the hazards that could occur in an office, or here in the classroom, explain the risks
  • Share your ideas in pairs, and then with the whole class
