The Risk Bank helps your school maintain reusable risk information for excursions and activities. It is designed to keep common hazards, controls, and responsibilities organised so staff can use consistent risk guidance when planning.

What You Can Do

  • Browse risk information in a structured tree.
  • Create risk groups for activities, environments, or common planning areas.
  • Add hazards under the relevant risk groups.
  • Add controls that describe how hazards should be managed.
  • Record likelihood, severity, and lead role information for hazards.
  • Set when controls apply, such as before, during, or after an activity.
  • Attach or reuse existing hazards and risk groups where appropriate.
  • Edit or archive risk information when it is no longer current.
  • Choose which details are visible in the tree view.

Activity type risk groups

Each activity type in workspace settings has a dedicated risk group in the Risk Bank. The group is created automatically the first time you save the activity type and is kept in sync with it. Use these groups when you want risk guidance to follow an activity wherever it is used:
  • Edit the group from the Risk management tab of the activity type editor, or open it directly in the Risk Bank.
  • Add hazards and controls that should apply to every excursion using that activity type.
  • When an excursion is assigned the activity type, the dedicated group is linked into the excursion automatically and shown with an Auto-applied badge on the Risk management tab.
  • Linked items stay in sync with bank updates until you detach them on the excursion.
Use a regular risk group for guidance that is not tied to a specific activity type, and use the dedicated group when the hazards and controls are inherent to that activity.

Common Workflows

Build a reusable risk area

Create a risk group for a common area, such as water activities, transport, outdoor environments, or overnight stays. Add hazards and controls that staff can reuse in future planning.

Set up risk guidance for an activity type

Open the activity type in workspace settings, switch to the Risk management tab, and add hazards and controls to its dedicated risk group. Excursions that select this activity type pick up the guidance automatically.

Review a hazard

Open the relevant risk group, check the hazard details, and confirm the controls, severity, likelihood, and responsible role are still appropriate.

Keep the bank tidy

Archive information that is no longer used, and update shared hazards or controls when school guidance changes.

Tips

  • Keep risk group names simple so staff can find the right guidance quickly.
  • Write controls as practical actions that staff can understand and apply.
  • Review the Risk Bank regularly so reused information stays current.
