What are the hazards? | Who might be harmed? | Level of risk | Likely harm | What are we already doing to mitigate this hazard? | Do we need to do anything else to mitigate this hazard? | Resulting Risk |
Transmission of COVID-19 by a symptomatic individual | Anyone in close contact with infected individual | Med | Med | Asking anyone who feels ill to stay away Pre-run health check during registration | Ask any hashers who turn up with symptoms to exclude themselves and go home Implement an ‘back-up hare’ strategy | Low |
Transmission of COVID-19 by a symptomatic individual | Anyone in close contact with infected individual | Med | Med | Reducing contacts and time in contact: Limiting numbers of hashers in contact by running in pods Requiring hashers to pre-register with an appropriate pod in order to be allowed to run. The faster runners should be in the first pod, the slower runners in the last pod. Asking car-sharers to register for the same pod Asking pods not to arrive early and to disperse after the run to avoid overlap with other pods Not having whole-pack starting or closing circles | Remind pods not to mix before, during, or after runs | Low |
Transmission of COVID-19 by a symptomatic individual | Anyone in close contact with infected individual | Med | Med | Social distancing: Asking hashers to maintain 2 metre distance in car park and on trail at all times where possible with other pod members and the general public Asking hares to use large car parks which enable social distancing Asking hares to use routes with different out and in trails to avoid pods overlapping Asking hares to plan checks in areas where social distance can be maintained, and to not make them too difficult in order to maintain separation between pods | Remind each pod about maintaining 2 metre social distancing, including at checks, before they set off Issue guidance to future hares to help them plan their trail | Low |
Transmission of COVID-19 by a symptomatic individual | Anyone handling shared equipment/gate posts etc. | Low | Med | Minimising shared equipment: Not providing hash beer/crystal at end of run or having drink stops | Remind hashers to bring own hand sanitiser Provide hand sanitiser if we decide to start providing hash beer Ask checking chicken to use own flour | Low |
Transmission of COVID-19 by a symptomatic individual | Anyone in close contact with infected individual | Med | Med | General precautions: All runs/physical meet-ups to take place outside where risk of transmission is reduced | None | |
Transmission of COVID-19 into wider community | Anyone in close contact with potentially infected individual | Med | Med | Track & trace: Requiring hashers to provide contact details at registration | Remind hashers to let us know if they have a positive test/become symptomatic post-run Provide registration lists to NHS track & trace as required | Low |
Transmission of COVID-19 by minors due to not understanding the above procedures | Anyone in close contact with potentially infected individual | Med | Med | Minors are expected to be accompanied by a guardian who is responsible for their behaviour on a run | Check that any minors and their guardians are familiar with the above procedures | Low |
