Case Studies - Zoning for Safety in the Countryside
Zone 1, Urban
The Osprey centre is heavily advertised and visited by 40,000 to 60,000 people each year. Visitors arrive by car or coach and comprise a very wide range of experience, including older tourists on coach tours of Scotland wearing ‘street’ clothes. This part of the site has therefore to be treated as an Urban zone within the Risk Matrix, with the highest standards of physical safety provision and support. It must be assumed that the visitors are not countryside aware and therefore paths, seats, steps and ramps should be maintained to the highest standards.
