Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist assists event managers and safety coordinators in identifying and controlling the risks that adverse weather poses to outdoor event crews during concerts, festivals and other large gatherings.

It covers hazards such as extreme heat, cold, high winds, lightning and storms, and ensures that appropriate monitoring, PPE, shelter, and emergency procedures are in place. The checklist also addresses competence, equipment protection, fuel and chemical storage, and the need for updated permits and contingency plans.

Use this checklist for:

  • Assessing weather‑related risks and verifying that monitoring equipment is functional.
  • Confirming staff training, competence and availability of PPE and shelter.
  • Ensuring permits, approvals and contingency plans reflect current forecasts.

Use the checklist before the event to verify that forecasts have been reviewed, monitoring equipment is functional, staff are trained, and all control measures are ready. During the event, repeat critical checks and follow the documented suspension or evacuation procedures if conditions deteriorate. After the event, conduct a debrief to capture lessons learned.

Compliant with: Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Additional relevant guidance includes event safety and adverse weather best‑practice.

Fully editable and shareable — customise the questions to your site, download as a PDF and share with your team.
