Risk Assessment Description:

This scaffold and grandstand build safety checklist is designed for riggers and working‑at‑height crews delivering temporary structures at concerts, festivals and other large events. It ensures that every element of the scaffold and grandstand is safe before erection, during construction and ready for public use.

The checklist aligns with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, incorporating HSE guidance on temporary works, fall protection and safe access.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑erection checks – verify design approval, permits, competence and ground conditions before building starts.
  • During‑build inspections – monitor stability, load‑out sequencing, exclusion zones and crowd protection as work progresses.
  • Post‑build hand‑over – confirm the structure is fit for public use, all records are complete and safety measures remain in place.

It is completed on‑site by the appointed supervisor who records each answer, takes immediate corrective action for any “No” response and signs the log, ensuring safe delivery of large‑scale temporary structures while protecting workers and the public.

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to your event, download as a PDF and distribute to your team.

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

Yes. The checklists are written around UK health and safety good practice and HSE guidance, and are suitable for inspections, audits, toolbox checks and routine workplace monitoring.

Do I need an account to use the checklist templates?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
