Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports event site crews responsible for erecting, inspecting and operating tower‑mounted and ground‑based lighting systems at concerts, festivals and other large‑scale events. It ensures that lighting installations are safe, compliant and provide adequate illumination for both crew and the public.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event set‑up of tower lights and site lighting
  • Daily operational inspections during the event
  • Post‑event dismantling and make‑safe checks

All checks must be carried out by a competent person authorised under the event’s RAMS and in line with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and BS 7909. The checklist covers structural stability, electrical safety, fuel handling (where applicable), lighting adequacy, personal protective equipment and emergency preparedness.

This tool guides crews through systematic inspections, from initial erection to daily operation and final dismantling, highlighting critical safety points such as mast stability, electrical isolation, fuel handling and lighting adequacy to protect both workers and attendees.

By following the checklist, event organisers demonstrate due diligence, meet legal obligations and reduce the risk of accidents, equipment failure or lighting‑related incidents during high‑profile performances.

This checklist also integrates with overall event safety management systems and can be used alongside risk assessments, method statements and other control documents.

It helps ensure lighting meets required lux levels for crowd safety and performer visibility, supporting safe evacuation routes, audience comfort and compliance with lighting standards.

Fully editable and shareable – adapt this document to suit the specific layout and lighting design of your event.

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.

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.
