Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying that laser output power and beam direction are within safe limits for the venue and audience distance.
  • Confirming that strobe lighting frequencies do not exceed thresholds that could trigger photosensitive seizures.
  • Ensuring all laser safety zones are properly marked, controlled and that qualified personnel are present.
  • Providing appropriate warnings and alternative viewing options for audience members with known photosensitivity.

This checklist assists laser operators, special‑effects technicians and event safety managers in systematically assessing the hazards associated with high‑intensity laser beams and rapid‑flash strobe lighting at live entertainment venues. It covers risk assessment verification, equipment registration, output power limits, safety zone demarcation, operator competence, seizure warning signage, frequency settings, emergency stop functionality, pre‑show beam alignment testing, audience protection measures, personal protective equipment provision, shutdown procedures, cable and mounting inspections, integration with fire safety plans, and post‑event equipment removal.

How to use: complete the checklist on site before the show, marking each question with Yes, No or N/A. Any item answered No must be rectified prior to the performance. Record corrective actions and retain the completed checklist for audit purposes.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Laser (Safety) Regulations 2018 and Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Fully editable and shareable.
