European Systems Safety Society Competition 2018

The Challenge:

We challenge groups of pupils to work together to:

• identify a hazardous situation (new or existing, funny or serious);
• explain the likely consequences of potential hazardous events (there may be several different consequences, each with a different severity and/or likelihood);
• assess the risk of each different outcome (based on likelihood and severity);
• propose solutions to reduce risk (if necessary) by making the hazardous event less likely and/or reducing the severity of its consequences;
• distil their thoughts via art or IT into a poster, concept solution, PowerPoint presentation, animated cartoon or video; and then
• email their Entry Form and upload their results to the ESSS website for scrutiny by the judging panel.
