We did this a couple of years ago raising money for children in need. I helped the organiser to put together a RA which included the serious bits like burns from hot wax, but also added in bits about suffering pain in the process and injuring participants pride and reputation etc. The control measure to prevent burns was to use the waxing strips, which are applied cold and pulled off. We also got the participants being waxed to sign a disclaimer, again we had a bit of fun wording this. We sold the strips for 50p each, people wrote their names on them and then stuck them to the victims. Once all the strips had been applied, the owners of the wax strips took it in turns to remove the strips with their name on one by one. So you actually risk assessed the task that was eliminated and a different method was then selected. Did you do a RA for what you actually did?!!!!!:-) Bob This was the idea of one of the sadistic female members of staff, because she believed if you just stuck one strip on at a time before removing it, most men would refuse to continue after the first one, where as if you cover them in lots of strips they have no option but to continue until they have all been removed !
