As an insurance policy requirement, Sustainable Crediton has developed a simple Health & Safety Policy based on a Health and Safety Executive model. The Health and Safety Policy must be reviewed before each event organised by Sustainable Crediton and where necessary a Risk Assessment performed by the person organising the event, usually the Action Group Leader. A blank Risk Assessment form can be found as page 2 of the Health & Safety Policy.
Listed below are some actual Risk Assessments for recent events which can serve as examples when an assessment has to be performed for a new event.

The UK has now used the levels of resources it should consume in an entire year if it were to be ecologically self-sufficient. In 1961 it was 9 July, but this year it falls on Easter Sunday.
