Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for:

  • Inspecting guy ropes, pegs and stakes before event set‑up.
  • Ensuring pathways and public routes are clear of trip hazards.
  • Verifying that all structural elements are properly marked and covered.
  • Confirming that any temporary structures are free from loose or dangling components.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

This checklist helps festival site crews systematically assess and mitigate trip and impalement risks associated with guy ropes, pegs, stakes and related structures. By following these steps you ensure a safe environment for staff, performers and the public, reducing the likelihood of injuries caused by protruding or unsecured components. Regular inspections, appropriate marking and the use of protective caps are essential components of a robust safety management system on event sites.

How to use: conduct the inspection before the event begins, record answers, address any ‘No’ or ‘N/A’ items, and retain the completed checklist for audit and future planning. The document is fully editable and shareable.

All personnel should be trained in safe handling of guy ropes and the use of protective caps, and records of inspections must be retained for at least 12 months to demonstrate compliance and support continuous improvement.
