Once a hazard has been identified, it needs to be brought up to the attention of the event organisers. They need to explain what exactly is the hazard and how it can effect spectators safety.

Then, once it has been brought to the attention it can be then made sure that the hazard is either fixed or made visible to all spectators, there for preventing any harm coming to the spectators.

3.6 outline the importance of

stewards following procedures

when they identify hazards

Prosedures need to be followed when identifying hazards at events. This is extremely important because some of these hazards could potentially harm the stewards or members of the public. An example of these prosedures could consist of clearing the area around the hazard to ensure safety to members of the public and other stewards. Once the hazard has been identified the stewards would need to take prosedures to safely remove it.
