Just FYI I am a certified electrical engineer and I do risk assessment as well, all the time. Certain things are "taking a risk" as in "there is sharp knife in the kitchen", others are just plain stupid like "one of the door knobs in this house is a knife".

So the results of my risk assessment might just look a little different, because I am more familiar with the matter and the potential consequences than you might be.

Best of luck to you.
