Lecturer guide · 30–45 minute exercise
Work individually or discuss in groups. Spend 5 minutes identifying risks, 15 minutes building a plan and 10 minutes defending it. Compare plans as a class.
Discuss: Which actions cannot wait? What temporary controls are needed? Who owns each action? What information is missing? A budget constraint must not be treated as permission to ignore safety.
Assessment prompts: quality of reasoning, treatment of uncertainty, communication and consequences of deferral. There is no automatic grade.
Your repair decisions
Select the permanent works you would fund. Include immediate investigation and temporary measures in your explanation.
Reported communal alarm fault
The system reports a fault. Investigate promptly with a competent contractor and consider interim measures.
Damaged entrance handrail
The loose rail creates an access and fall risk. Consider temporary controls while arranging repair.
Ageing boiler: planned replacement
Currently working, with repeated repairs. Consider reliability, disruption and the cost of deferral.
Refresh communal decoration
Cosmetic wear, with no reported safety defect. Consider resident experience against more urgent needs.
