How we are managing the key operational risks
Risk COVID-19 cross infection
Community should not attend parks and open spaces who have travelled overseas , been in contact with persons diagnosed with COVID-19 or are demonstrating any COVID-19 symptoms . ( Queensland Government advice )
Actions
Risk management :
• Park infrastructure areas cleaned with disinfectant / alcoholbased wipes / sprays where an approved program is in place .
Event management in parks and open spaces A risk assessment should consider :
• Existing risks of the site ;
• Risks the event creates ;
• External risks that the event organiser has little control over but may need to be managed at the event .
• Will there be moving vehicles near the event site and could this pose a risk to pedestrians ?
• Is there anything on the site that could become dangerous if there is inclement weather ?
• Is there a body of water on or near the event site ?
• Is there infrastructure being brought onto the event site ? Who will ensure it is safely secured ?
• Are vehicles being brought on site and if so how will the safety of people who are setting up near vehicles be managed ?
• In the event that an evacuation of the event site is required who is responsible for ensuring all people are calmly and safely moved ?
• Are the likely guests at the event at a higher risk of requiring emergency services ? If so have local emergency services been advised ?
Risk management :
• The initial risk assessment
• The developed Risk Control Plan
• An Emergency Management Plan
• Traffic Management Plan – where applicable
• Waste Management Plan – where applicable
• Site safety induction checklists – for staff working on the event or site
