I've always firmly believed that nothing is wasted, and that my fifteen years in industry, mostly associated with assessing risk for hazardous industries, were part of God's equipping for ministry.

So far this week, I've done a risk assessment for a Community Litter Pick (using an excellent template from Keep Britain Tidy) and a risk assessment for an educational visit to a Cemetery using online guidance and examples of good practice.

It's been fun (cos I am just a tad weird) and I am pleased to be able to use these skills in these contexts.

Have I gathered up the equivalent of twelve baskets of leftovers in the last quarter of a century?  I don't know, but I think I have contributed in some small way to risk management along the way.
