Advance online booking for specified timeslots to ease and spread the
numbers of people arriving at the main entrance throughout the day and
significantly reducing the need for cash transactions.
Limited daily capacity on site, timeslots are also limited. All visitors,

The Risk Rating Number (RRN) is obtained from the Risk Factor Calculation = P x S x F x NP

0 - 10 Negligible Presents very little risk to health and safety No further controls required

Page 4 of 10
 10 - 50 Low but significant Contains hazards Review existing control measures periodically
50 - 500 High Has potentially dangerous hazards Requires urgent implementation of additional control measures
501 + Unacceptable Presents very high risk to health and safety Continued operation in this state is unacceptable

Note - these values and colour coding are for guidance only. You should be competent to judge this. If in doubt consult your manager.
- you are determining that the control measures for the risk are tolerable, So Far As Is Reasonably Practicable.
- you are not trying to remove all risk but simply manage it to acceptable levels.
- the more significant the hazard, i.e. the larger the RRN the more important the further control measures become.
