Unit 4 AO3
Define and identify common work-related hazards and risks in two contrasting
public services suggesting ways that they could be minimised.
Introduction
In this AO I am going to look at two contrasting public services and examine
the hazards and risks involved in the job and how to minimize those risks by
looking at the training and the health and safety equipment in the job. For
example if you are in the army you need training to learn how to deal with
every situation involved in the job and by having that training you will have the
knowledge to deal with the situation and overcome the risks and hazards. The
two contrasting public services I am going to be looking at is the army and the
police service both of these public services are totally different but they can
have the same hazards and risks involved in the job for example in the army
you are more likely to have a casualty but in the police force you can still get
hurt or wounded on the job.
Risks and hazards within the police force
Risks in the police force on a motor vehicle pursuit- one of the most dangerous
risk in a motor vehicle pursuit is putting a member of public in risk, when you
are driving in a built up area you have to drive fast to keep up with the personyou are chasing but you need to be careful at the same time because its one
of the most dangerous thing you could do by driving round the public and you
need to be a very experienced driver by having the knowledge of driving and
the way the police force could minimize the hazards risks in this part of the job
is by training the police in an experienced driving course and you could learn
the correct techniques in how to turn a car off the road.
Another risk in the police force is in the riot squad because the amount of
people protesting can outnumber the police so
it is important you know your training on how
to control the group of people because if you
dont know your training you could hurt your
team mate or one of the protestors and for it to
be a successful riot you need to know you

training and work as a team with the other officer and a good way how to
minimize the risks and have a successful riot is by making the team of the riot
squad to go on a team building day because if you dont have good team work
within the riot squad youre not going to have much successful riots.
Risks and hazards in the army
There are so many dangers and obstacles that the Drivers face in the army.
The improvised explosive device (IED) threat and insurgents are the main ones
but the locals and even the terrain make things very difficult as well. We have
to take Tank Transporters on the CLPs and they are so big that they get bogged
in all the time which creates further problems as the drivers have to get out of
our vehicles to help recover them. Sometimes it can take a whole day just to
move 8km or so.
Another risk in the army is learning how to deal with a casualty because if you
are in a situation where you are
under attack and one of the other
soldiers are hurt you need to think
of a plan where you know that you
can get that person to safety as well
as holding off the attack because if
you are not trained enough to dothat you can put the whole lives of
you group and the injured person in
risk so before you can handler a
group of soldiers you need to know
your training.
