Activity

Hazard Identification Activity

Activity Overview

In this activity, you’ll explore everyday scenarios and work in small groups to identify potential hazards. Your goal is to critically analyze each situation and come up with effective safety strategies to reduce risk.

Instructions

  1. Form Small Groups: Split into groups of 4-5 students.
  2. Review Scenarios: Your teacher will provide a set of scenarios or images depicting common environments (such as a kitchen, school hallway, or playground).
  3. Identify Hazards: As a group, list all the potential hazards you observe in each scenario. Consider both obvious and hidden dangers.
  4. Discuss Safety Strategies: For each hazard identified, discuss strategies that can be implemented to eliminate or reduce the risk. Think about how you can apply these strategies in real life.
  5. Record Your Findings: Write down your observations and proposed safety measures. Use the space provided below for notes.




Group Discussion Prompts

  • What hazards did your group identify?


  • Why do you think these hazards could be dangerous?


  • How can the hazards be prevented or managed effectively?


  • Are there any common strategies that the whole class might use to improve safety?


Follow-Up Questions for the Class

  • Reflection: What did you learn about identifying hazards today?


  • Application: How might these safety strategies help you at home, school, or in your community?


  • Critical Thinking: Can you think of a situation where several hazards might interact to create a more dangerous scenario? How would you handle it?


Remember, safety is everyone’s responsibility. Your ideas can make a big difference in creating a safer environment for all.

Happy identifying and brainstorming!
