Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for: inspecting the construction of stages and rostra at concerts, festivals and other live events. It covers critical safety aspects such as fall protection, structural stability, manual handling, and equipment safety.

Fully editable and shareable – adapt to your specific event requirements.

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, PUWER 1998. This checklist ensures that all work at height activities are performed safely, with appropriate risk assessments, fall prevention measures and competent personnel.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying that planning permissions and permits are in place before construction begins.
  • Ensuring structural components are correctly installed and secured.
  • Checking that fall protection and rescue measures are ready.
  • Confirming safe manual handling practices for decking and equipment.
  • Reviewing that personal protective equipment is worn by all crew.

How it is used: The checklist should be completed at key stages of the build – after initial erection, before adding height work, and prior to the final hand‑over to the event crew. Each item must be answered with Yes, No or N/A and any ‘No’ responses must be addressed before work proceeds.

By following this checklist you help prevent falls from partially built stages, collapse or instability of rostra, trapped fingers in moving parts, and injuries from manual handling of decking materials. Ensure that each item is verified before work proceeds to the next stage.
