I really do agree with Imogen and this may not be relevant but it is usual to assess the risk of an environment or occasion and not the people involved - so with motor sport it is whether the barricades are strong enough to prevent the spectators from being killed. In a lab it is whether there are enough goggles and gloves to protect the students and the equipment is functioning correctly so the risk of an accident is minimalised.
The government provide some guidelines under health and safety website: http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/raindex.htm and university ones can be found at http://www.safety.ed.ac.uk/safenet/risk_assess/
Best wishes E.A.
