The assessment specifies control measures such as instructor positioning and briefing safety range rules, restricted viewing areas, secure target setup, and equipment inspection and withdrawal from service. It also addresses residual risk from falling or off-target hawks, dropped items, lost tomahawks, and restrictions on knife or chopping-axe use, including responsibilities led by the range master.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/tomahawk-risk-assessment-controls-and-residual-risk/145055/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/tomahawk-risk-assessment-controls-and-residual-risk/145055.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"วิน","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-22","2026-08-26",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",5,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What hazards are covered in the tomahawk risk assessment?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The assessment covers hazards including being hit by a tomahawk, dropping a tomahawk (or angel) onto a leg/foot, being struck by falling targets or off-target hawks, failures in throwing equipment, and tomahawks left behind.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"How are risks controlled during the session?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"Controls include instructor positioning to observe all participants, safety instructions and range rules given in the briefing and repeated as needed, restricting bystanders to a safe viewing area, and collecting only on command.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"What residual risks and responsibilities are assigned?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"Residual risks are rated mostly as LOW, with one MEDIUM hazard for hits by a tomahawk/angel.
