Community Safety Planning Worksheet

Help plan a safer farmers’ market. Read the scenario, then use the questions to identify risks, choose sensible actions and explain how people can work together. For an immediate emergency in Australia, call 000.

Scenario: Saturday at the market

Kirra, Xavier and Amira are helping at a busy farmers’ market. The forecast warns of very hot weather, and a storm may arrive later. Cars and delivery vans use a nearby access lane. Some visitors are unfamiliar with the market. The organisers have a first-aid tent, a public-address system and an emergency plan, but not everyone knows where to meet if the market needs to close.

1.Choose the option that lists the two risks clearly mentioned in the scenario.

Heat and a possible storm
A bushfire and a broken footbridge
A missing bicycle and a power cut
An overflowing river and a damaged playground

2.The delivery lane is beside the market. Write one practical action organisers could take to reduce the risk of a collision between vehicles and pedestrians.

3.Which action is the safest way to respond to an official storm warning?

Ignore it unless rain has already started
Follow advice from official emergency services and the market organisers
Leave by running through the vehicle lane
Share an unverified message online to warn everyone

4.In hot weather, visitors can reduce the risk of heat illness by drinking .

5.Visitors can also reduce the risk of heat illness by seeking and telling a trusted adult if they feel unwell.

6.True or false: If the market must close, visitors should follow the organisers’ instructions and use the agreed meeting point rather than choosing separate routes without telling anyone.

TrueFalse

7.Match each community helper to a suitable safety role.

First-aid volunteers
Market organisers
Council or traffic staff
Visitors

Share instructions and coordinate the safety plan
Provide first aid and seek further help when needed
Help manage safe vehicle and pedestrian areas
Follow directions and report hazards to an organiser

8.A visitor looks lost and says they cannot find their family. What is a safe way for Kirra to help without going off alone with the visitor?

9.Select all the helpful communication skills for a safety meeting.

Listen carefully to other people’s concerns
Speak clearly and calmly
Interrupt people so the meeting finishes faster
Ask questions if instructions are unclear
Respect different ideas

10.Name two details that should be included in the market’s emergency plan so visitors know what to do if the site needs to close.

11.Xavier suggests that the market should plan only for storms because other risks are less important. Explain why a good community safety plan should consider more than one kind of risk.
