Help
I have to give a presentation on risk assessment in general, the people who I will be presenting too, are not there by choice therefore they will be not over the moon about being there. Has anyone got any suggestions of a interesting presentation I can give them by making it fun at the same time.. they are all adults by the way!!
I wait in anticipation

Sian,
try and use an interactive example they may have had experience of or can envisage.
I use changing loft insulation (30yrs of dust, no lighting, falls from height, electrical hazards, manual handling etc.)
This generally gets people to recall their own experiences and you can demonstrate the value a cross disipline team can add to an assessment,
John

Sian,
Following John J's theme, we start novice risk assessors by asking them to risk assess the process of cars negotiating entrance and exit to the site: this event has the advantage that they are all familiar with the setting and familiar with the hazards, and most people are driving "experts". Produces very lively discussion during the group debriefs.
Regards
Kon

I usually start my presentations by picking on the guy who is obviously the 'joker' or the one that's falling asleep. Then get the rest of them to carry out an assessment on the severity and likelihood of the 'victim' falling asleep, falling off his/her chair and banging their head. They then determine elimination and control measures - give coffee, open windows, throw bucket of water over head, tie cushion to backside etc. I then add to it by saying that I could change the subject and talk about something more interesting so that our victim is less likely to fall asleep.
I'm sorry I'm not explaining it well butI find that it usually grabs their attention and gets them involved and contributing from the outset.
Good luck.

DVD's are usually good to get it started

I have provided this to many.
I start by introducing me and what I do, outside work activities etc.
Then ask them to chat about themselves.
You may be able to tap into something that collectively they may have or what you can use.
Most recently several 17 year old boys on various college courses.
They have cars, one had recently been in a road accident and was waiting the outcome from the Police.
He advised me of what had happened - so I turned the story to risk assessment and accident prevention etc.
Seemed to work. At the end of the session one guy said "I learnt more today about health and safety that all the weeks at college".
May sure that they laugh at stuff - good / bad images do help (in my opinion).
JM

The next month may be a good time for professional safety and health practitioners to encourage schools to review their approach to health and safety at work.
Last week, the owner of a nursery school was fined a hefty sum after being prosecuted by the HSE for failing to safeguard a 3-year-old who died in hospital after a fall at the school.
There may be mitigating factors in this particular case, as in any specific incident. What was more alarming was the statement attributed in the press to the Head of the Association of School and College Leaders who reportedly resorted to the 'old soldier' theme of onerous health and safety legislation, instead of committing his organisation to give a lead to his members to understand their responsibilities and fulfil them.

All good examples / ideas, particularly Jeff's.
I use a Who wants to be a Millionaire template, freely available on the web, just Google the name of the show with template on the end, took a while to put together, but I start the training with it to see how high they can get, then again at the end to see if there is an increase. Normally split the group into 2, winning group gets a small prize (something silly).
Not yet had a group get to a million at the start, but bound to happen one day.
Another way is to use an icebreaker, there is one around where your light aircraft has crashes in mountains, location unknown etc, have 5 minutes to select 6 items from a list - using lateral thinking, you could have them explain why they select what they do from a risk assessment perspective.
