Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for event managers and safety coordinators responsible for the control room during concerts, festivals and other large‑scale events. It ensures that the control room is fully prepared to manage production activities and execute show‑stop procedures safely and efficiently.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying control‑room communications and decision‑making processes
  • Confirming that show‑stop triggers and incident command structures are in place
  • Assessing the environment, equipment and personnel readiness before and during the event
  • Reviewing post‑event actions and corrective measures

The control room is a critical hub where real‑time information is processed and rapid decisions are made. By following this checklist you can minimise risks to staff, performers and audiences, and ensure compliance with statutory guidance.

Prior to the event, conduct a briefing using this list to confirm that all communication equipment, power supplies and emergency contacts are operational. During the event, use the checklist as a live audit tool to verify that procedures are being followed and any issues are recorded. After the event, complete the final items to review the show‑stop incident and implement corrective actions.

Fully editable and shareable

Compliant with: Purple Guide to Health, Safety and Welfare at Events and Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

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.

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.
