Bee Hotel & Editable Risk Assessment Sheets

This resource includes two Risk Assessment Sheets to support safe and structured project-based learning. The Bee Hotel Risk Assessment outlines common hazards, risk levels, and control measures for safely constructing and placing bee hotels. The Editable Risk Assessment Sheet allows teachers to customise their own risk management plans for different classroom or outdoor activities, ensuring flexibility and adaptability for various projects. These sheets promote safe learning environments, risk awareness, and best practices for supervision and emergency preparedness.

•    Project-Based Safety Planning: Use before practical STEAM or design projects to assess risks and implement control measures.
•    Classroom Risk Management: Customise the editable template for various school activities and projects.
•    Teacher & Student Awareness: Discuss potential hazards and safe working practices with students before starting construction-based tasks.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to explore how familiar products, services and environments are designed by people.
  • We are learning to generate, communicate and evaluate design ideas.
  • We are learning to identify how people design and produce familiar products, services and environments to meet personal and community needs.
  • We are learning to use materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques to safely make designed solutions.
  • We are learning to use personal preferences to evaluate the success of design ideas, processes and solutions, including their care for the environment.
  • We are learning to generate, develop and record design ideas through describing, drawing and modelling.
