This document summarizes the risks identified in a technology classroom facility risk assessment. It identifies various hazards like workshop machines and tools, sharp blades, electricity, and flammable materials. For each hazard, it lists who is at risk, the initial risk rating, normal control measures already in place, additional control measures needed, and the residual risk rating. The assessment was conducted by R. Hancock on 12/08/09 and includes reviews to be completed at later dates to ensure all risks remain adequately controlled.
