The perimeter patrol vehicles at your security office are not being serviced in accordance with the warranty requirements
Capsicum spray is being put in the lids of waterbottles of probationary security officers at the local hospital, as a hazing technique by older officers
The exits of the location you are securing are not clearly marked
The air conditioning vent in the bathroom has a large quantity of mould around it
A shortage of workstations has resulted in computers being set up on high desks with stools for new officers
The fire extinguishers have not been serviced in accordance with the usual requirements
There is an electronic malfunction on the fire doors in the remand area and when one opens, the others open; or they do not open at all.
The security firm is understaffed and only half the required number of officers are being deployed to the warehouse district.

A Cash in Transit officer in the security office carries a Glock but has not been seen to clean the weapon for over 12 months
The walkway into the security centre has concrete that has lifted and presents a tripping risk.
You are required to conduct an assessment of risk against all the scenarios to be able to report the consequences and likelihood of harm as a result of the issues raised.
The discussion should be set out on a Word document, with the scenarios numbered and used as headings, and the discussion set out like the examples as shown below.
The assessment must also have a discussion of the thinking associated with the outcome. So, include a brief description of why you came to the conclusion you did when assessing the risk. Your discussion should also include any extra facts you chose to consider as part of the assessment of the scenario
