Hi All,
Has anyone got any examples to share of pictorial RAs?(picture/thousand words etc.) We are currently attempting to prepare some for service users with learning disabilities.
Kind regards, Paul

A difficult one. Attempts to depict a potential outcome may be perceived as the ACTUAL outcome by those with more profound problems.
I'm reminded of the baby food tins marketed in (Africa?) with a picture of a baby on the tin, which the horrified locals associated with the "usual" pictures of peas, carrots etc.!

Thanks Ron,
Appreciate what you say , but we have already had great success with FRAs using pictures & there are a few commercial organisations issuing mainly pictorial safety booklets . so in the spirit of SIMPLE (HSE term) RAs ????
Regards, Paul

Hi Paul,
we use something called widgit from Logotron (sorry don't have contact details person not at their desk) - though I haven't used it myself. It apparently is a pictorial language and can be used for risk assessments as well as other applications.

I have just recently started using picture inserts with my risk assessments.
To be short, I would take a picture of the potential hazard associated with the task and incorporate it into the risk assessment, identifying the hazard and the control measures etc etc.
I would really appreciate some pointers from people that use this type of system.

If you care to send your email to me at ciaranmdelaney@gmail.com I will be happy to scan and email what I have to you. Kind Regards, Ciarán Delaney CMIOSH

I think the HSA's Safe Syatem Of Work Plans (SSWPs) are a very good idea but I was thinking that the risk assessment that was referred to, was the type that someone would utilise for a specific machine or piece of equipment.
I use the SSWPs for small works on site but I am trying to compile risk assessments for all of our equipment on site and in the workshop using pictures. This was pointed out to me by the HSA inspector as best practice. I have some completed but I was hopnig that I could compare with others.
