As he
walked along the pavement, navigating mounds of snow and taking care not to step
onto the slushy street, the well - bundled social psychologist looked like a man who might prefer staying safe within the boundaries, a man who might shun risk — proving once again the danger of mistaking

School grounds should be inspected for potential hazards such as: • Verandah poles outside doorways, in thoroughfares or in situations where students are unlikely to see them, especially while running; • Steps and changes in level which are poorly proportioned, difficult to see or lack handrails; • Fencing, gates and railings which students climb and which have structural problems, sharp protrusions, splinters or other hazards; • Trip hazards at ground level — protruding drainage pit covers, irregular paving, cracks or tree roots in thoroughfares, broken off post or other remnants of old structures; • Loose gravely
surfaces on slopes and where students run; • Slippery patches which may stay damp in winter; • Rocks which students can fall
onto or throw around; • Embankments which students can slip down or which have protruding sharp objects; • Blind corners in busy areas; taps and hoses which are positioned where students play or
walk; window glass at low levels through which students could fall; • Holes, cracks or exposed irrigation fixtures in ovals; • Trees or shrubs with poisonous parts, sharp spikes or thorns or branches at eye level; • Splinters and deteriorating timbers in seats, retaining edges and other wooden constructions; • sSeds or other areas with hazardous chemicals or machinery to which students have access; rubbish skips which students can climb into or around, or which place students at risk when trucks enter the school; • Areas within the site used for car parking when students are present; and, • Sporting equipment such as goal posts or basketball rings which have structural or other design or maintenance problems.
The three metal paintings were made using a random
walk to determine quantities of various metals, then applying those quantities
onto the
surface of a painting as quickly as possible.
In 1993 the terminus was advancing (I
walked from grass - covered moraines
onto the ice
surface) but all the water from the snout was flowing back up - glacier.
