A community festival expands into a new plaza that has never been included in hazard walks. What should the risk team do first for identification?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
New ground equals new hazards—period. When the footprint grows, identification has to grow with it, not wait for someone to trip over a curb that was never on last year’s map.
Full Explanation
Operational footprint expansion is a trigger to widen risk identification. Areas never previously assessed may introduce unfamiliar hazards, access issues, and crowd exposures. Updating identification before use prevents unmanaged risk in newly occupied space.
