Risk Assessment Description:

This County Show and Country-Fair Operations Safety Checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps event managers and safety coordinators ensure a safe environment for attendees, livestock, exhibitors and staff at agricultural fairs and county shows.

It covers all essential safety aspects, including a thorough risk assessment, verification of competence and training, evaluation of site conditions, detailed livestock handling procedures, inspection of marquee structures and anchoring, safe management of vehicle and ride movement, control of hazardous substances such as fuels and chemicals, provision and use of appropriate personal protective equipment, implementation of collective safety measures like barriers and signage, robust emergency arrangements and a systematic post‑event clearance process. The checklist aligns with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and related HSE guidance, ensuring statutory compliance across every facet of the event.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event preparation – confirm plans, permits and training are in place.
  • On‑site inspections – verify conditions and controls during the show.
  • Post‑event close‑down – ensure safe removal of equipment and waste.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before proceeding. Record the response, investigate any deficiencies and implement corrective actions before the next activity or before the event continues, keeping a clear audit trail of safety decisions.

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

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

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?

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
