Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports event managers and safety coordinators in ensuring that a beer, food and drink festival is operated safely and in compliance with UK health and safety law. It provides a practical, step‑by‑step tool for verifying that all critical aspects of the event are examined before opening, during daily operation and after closure.

Event licence, competent event safety officer and crowd control plans are essential elements that must be confirmed on site. The checklist also addresses gas safety, generator placement, electrical distribution, bar and catering set‑up, slip‑resistant flooring, glass breakage prevention and emergency preparedness.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event site inspections
  • Daily operational checks during the festival
  • Post‑event hand‑over and make‑safe verification

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit the specific layout, services and risk profile of your event. The format allows easy printing or digital use, with each item ticked Yes, No or N/A and records retained for the event duration and three years thereafter.

The checklist should be used in conjunction with a site‑specific risk assessment and a written emergency plan. It helps demonstrate compliance with legislation, supports safe working practices and provides evidence for inspections by authorities.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Additional guidance is drawn from the HSE event‑safety recommendations and the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

Yes. The checklists are written around UK health and safety good practice and HSE guidance, and are suitable for inspections, audits, toolbox checks and routine workplace monitoring.

Do I need an account to use the checklist templates?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

What types of safety checklist can I create?

We are building specialist checklists across a wide range of subjects and industries — fire safety, workplace inspections, equipment and machinery checks, site inductions, vehicle checks, PPE, first aid and more. Browse by category to find the right one.

How often should safety checklists be completed?

It depends on the activity and your risk assessment — many checks are daily, weekly or monthly, while others are done before each task or shift. Completed, dated checklists provide a useful record of your monitoring.

Are the checklists a substitute for a risk assessment?

No. A checklist is a monitoring and inspection tool that complements your risk assessments and method statements — it helps confirm that controls are in place and working. Use them alongside your risk assessments.
