This hazard is not only hazardous to young service users, but also, elder service users as well. The way in which it could be hazardous to young service users is that they may pick this piece of glass up due to evidently not being aware of the dangers it could cause.

Reflective Account for Health and Safety When I was in the playground I saw a box of toys at the edge of a shelf, I quickly went over and removed it from there because it was a hazard for the children passing by as it could’ve dropped down on them. When I go to P.E I make sure there is enough safety mats out for apparatus being used. I have not had to report any concerns about safety equipment but in P.E we have safety mats and if I feel they were damaged I would tell the teacher and also report to the caretaker who will dispose of it and replace it. I was helping year 2 make old treasure maps and to make the paper look old we used teabags to stain the paper, they also had a choice of making holes or scrunching the paper. I made
