Becky Tye AS: Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment - 3

There are quite a few hazards in the disused petrol station:

There are some plug sockets attached to the supports, that are only partially attached (and one of the plugs was switched on!)
There is a broken window with glass everywhere
Various bits of piping, tubing and wires have been pulled out from the building frame
The door round the back is open and could contain dangerous items (I had a look through the door and there was old stuff in piles everywhere. None of it looked particulaly dangerous, but then again it was dark, and covered in dust/cobwebs etc)

It isn't looking like the best idea to shoot here, however as long as Trixy and I are careful and don't enter the actual building; I don't see why it can't be done safely :)
