Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for:

  • Assessing and managing noise exposure during live music performances.
  • Ensuring compliance with health and safety legislation for licensed venues.
  • Protecting staff, performers and patrons from excessive noise levels.

This tool guides venue operators through a systematic process to measure sound levels, define hearing‑protection zones, monitor exposure duration, implement staff rotation, and provide appropriate signage. It also covers planning, competence, equipment maintenance and emergency procedures to deliver a comprehensive approach.

It ensures compliance with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 and aligns with best practice guidance from the Health and Safety Executive. By following the checklist you demonstrate due diligence to inspectors and protect hearing health on site.

Fully editable and shareable, the checklist can be adapted to different venue layouts and event types. Use it as part of your pre‑event risk assessment and retain records for audit purposes.

This checklist should be completed during the event planning stage and reviewed after each performance to ensure ongoing compliance. Records of measurements, training, and sign‑off are retained for at least 12 months as required by the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and supporting regulations.

Compliant with: Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 and HSE guidance on noise at work.

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.

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.
