OKC Riversport Risk Assessment

Manmade whitewater or river parks have become a trend across the nation, bringing the ability to whitewater raft, kayak, tube, and other outdoor adventures in a seemingly controlled and safe setting. However, that feeling of safety and controls were planned and designed for from the beginning. One thing all facility managers need to do is create a risk assessment of all potential hazards or risks for your space so that you can prioritize, plan and train for, and mitigate a multitude of risks.

After watching the two YouTube videos, reviewing the park map, and the OKC Riversport’s website, conduct a risk assessment of the park.

To get full points for this assignment, complete the following.

  • Download the attached spreadsheet. You will find 3 tabs at the bottom.  (spreadsheet will be attached as a file)
  • Tab 2 is the Risk scales. Which allow you to determine the likelihood and severity of each hazard
    • Tab 3 provides the different scales for each risk category (Severity, likelihood, and Impact)
  • Choose 3 elements of the park (ie. whitewater section, water slides, zip line, etc)
  • For each element, identify five (5) hazards or risks for each element and complete the matrix.
  • Columns C, D, E, and F, all have drop-down menus for you to choose an answer based on Tabs 2 and 3.
  • For “Who might be harmed,” if you choose “other,” also write in your answer
  • Define your recommended actions for each hazard. This could be related to staffing, maintenance, inspections, plans, etc. 
  • The actions should be in sentence format and clearly state at least who, how, what will be your plan. You can have multiple different ideas for each hazard.
  • The “who” can be staff members, users, tradespeople, emergency personnel etc.
