Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports lighting, sound and AV crews to verify that all public‑area electrical equipment at events is safe for use by staff and the public. It covers the inspection of residual‑current devices (RCDs), protective cable covers, weather‑proofing of connections and associated safety measures.

Use this checklist for:

  • Concerts and festivals
  • Outdoor sporting events
  • Temporary stages and marquees
  • Any public event with temporary power distribution

The checklist is designed to be used on site before the event starts, during the event for ongoing checks and after the event for make‑safe verification. Each question is a closed Yes/No/N/A item that can be answered quickly and recorded on the spot.

It ensures that the installation complies with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the industry standard BS 7909. The questions address risk assessment, competence, equipment condition, protection from water, signage, PPE and emergency procedures.

When using the checklist, the appointed electrician or competent person should complete the initial RCD testing, then hand the form to the event supervisor who will verify that all cable routes are protected and that any changes during the event are logged. After the event, the checklist provides a clear record of what was inspected and any corrective actions taken.

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the checklist to suit your event’s specific layout and equipment.

Compliant with: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, BS 7909.

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.

How often should safety checklists be completed?

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.

Are the checklists a substitute for a risk assessment?

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.
