Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist provides a systematic inspection framework for security operatives, door supervisors, stewards, CCTV/control‑room operators, close‑protection officers and facility managers to ensure that displays, signage and related structures are securely fixed and do not pose a falling‑object risk to the public.

Use this checklist before events, during routine venue inspections and after any alteration to displays or signage. It covers the assessment of fixings, stability of bases, exclusion zones, weather considerations, electrical safety and emergency preparedness.

It helps you verify that a competent risk assessment has been carried out, that appropriate personal protective equipment is available, and that all relevant safety measures are in place and documented.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event inspections of temporary and permanent displays
  • Signage installation checks in indoor and outdoor public venues
  • Routine safety audits of public areas with hanging objects
  • Post‑event dismantling and storage verification

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit your venue’s specific requirements.

The checklist assists venue managers in maintaining legal compliance, reducing liability and supporting a safe environment for staff and visitors.

Regular use of this checklist supports proactive risk management, helps demonstrate due diligence to insurers and regulators, and creates a clear audit trail for health and safety inspections. It also promotes a culture of safety among staff and visitors, reducing the likelihood of incidents, legal claims and service disruption.

Compliant with: Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992
