You have just been hired as the hypothetical Facility Manager at “American Military/Public University Arena” in Charles Town, West Virginia. The arena seats 65,000 and is used as a multipurpose facility to host events in college and professional basketball, football, and hockey. This is a newly structured arena. As the Facility Manager, you have been asked to develop a Risk Analysis Plan.
Some type of creativity is required. Photos are required . These must be in color and embedded in the text. If you are not certain how to “wrap the text” around the photos I suggest you learn by researching the Internet and looking up tutorials to accomplish this task.
This paper will be evaluated for thoroughness in identifying risks and planning risk reduction strategies. Error on the side of providing “too much” detail rather than not enough. The final paper should be something you could actually use if you were out in the real world. This is supposed to be a Risk Analysis, NOT a report about Risk Management OR a report about a sport facility. Make certain you understand the difference!
Required Format: You need to make certain that all of these are included to receive full points. Failure to include these items will result in a reduction depending on the quality. Please see the Good Example that is attached.
