Risk AssessmentThe ATC is working hard to implement the best Health & Safety practices, including the application of risk assessment for all adventure training activities. Since 1 April 2002, Central & East Region has required all applications for adventure training to be accompanied by a risk assessment statement, prepared and signed by the activity leader In March 2003, we received the new Air Cadets Health and Safety manual (ACP5) which specifies a new risk assessment form and procedure.
