P1 - Risk Assessment

Hazard	Who might be harmed and how?	How I will prevent it from happening
Getting hit by a vehicle or bike while crossing over to find people to interview for my Voxpop	When trying to find people for my Voxpop, there are busy roads in  Bow and  when crossing I might get hit by a car and other people may get hurt.	Look at the traffic lights so I know when I can cross and keep a look out for cars and make sure it is clear when I cross.
When I stop to ask people if they would like to take part they may get annoyed and may give verbal abuse.	Most likely to get verbal abuse as I am a Sixth Form student so they may not take me seriously.	Politely ask them if they are busy or not and if they say yes, say thank you and carry on looking and try to ask people who do not seem busy.
The people may not be serious about taking part and may give answers which are not truthful.	When asking the question, they may give rude comments or sarcastic answers.	Ask people that seem friendly or look for other people.
May get pushed around and might hurt myself.	When I stop to ask the public I might get pushed around as it is a busy area.	Try to go to areas that are not that busy and an area that looks safe.
