Awareness
Ensuring that participants are aware of and understand potential hazards and risks is the key element in ensuring that risks are undertaken voluntarily.
There are no nasty surprises awaiting participants.
Information and education of participants about the nature and extent of hazards, the risk control measures in place, and the precautions which the participants should take are crucial elements of risk control.
Wherever possible, integrate safety information with other information provided to the public.
These could include leaflets, interpretation boards, websites.
