Details

Generic risk assessment 2.2 examines the hazards, risks and controls relating to fire and rescue service personnel working on or near ice and unstable ground. Although the 2 types of incident may be very different, they are considered in the same generic risk assessment because of the similarities in the equipment and procedures used.
