Please MAKE A COPY of this spreadsheet for your own use. Please make sure to NOT USE THIS ORIGINAL document for your specific risk assessment. Your copy's sharing settings should be '‘anyone with the link can view’.
Please be mindful of the sections you need to fill out - those will be indicated by a Yellow mark at the top of each section.

Review and answer the questions on the Local Risk Assessment tab. These questions are designed to help determine what level of exposure to COVID-19 attendees could experience at your event.

For each question, select the appropriate response from the drop-down menu in the yellow column. Do not keep the default response unless it applies to your event.

Review and answer the questions on the Controls tab. These questions were created to help mitigate, where possible, vulnerabilities identified in the Local Risk assessment tab.

For each question, select the appropriate response from the drop-down menu in the yellow column.

Review risk severity and estimate risk exposure

Review the Risk severity tab. The numbers at the top represent scoring from the Risk assessment and controls tab.

Take the risk assessment score and match it up to the range on the left. Move along the row to the right until you fall into the corresponding controls appliance percentage column. Put an 'X' in the proper tab to reflect your final score.

In general, if your score is falling into the green or yellow range, your event is lower risk. That doesn't mean it's totally safe but that you have either a low risk assessment score or have applied good controls to reduce your risk.

If your score is falling into the orange, red or maroon (dark red) range you will need to consider additional controls, other ways of holding your event, or postponing your event until COVID-19 is under control in the area the event will be hosted.

Start with a risk score of 18 -->16-20Xit's red, so it's pretty risky to hold the event.
