Written Hazard Report (1500 words) – should be structured with meaningful headings ( see specific requirements below) to ensure it is easy to understand. Penalties apply for each 10% under or over
the word limit. You are encouraged to review appropriate report formats on which to model your report, as this will count in the marks awarded for presentation.
