Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for site crews installing trackway, ground‑protection and matting at concert and festival venues. It ensures safe manual handling, correct placement of protective matting, and secure load‑bearing surfaces for vehicles and equipment.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation inspection of trackway routes
  • Verification of ground‑protection and matting layout
  • Ensuring safe manual handling practices
  • Confirming vehicle access and load‑bearing capacity

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

It supports compliance with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. The checklist guides crews through risk assessment, permit checks, competence verification, site conditions, equipment safety, substance handling, PPE use and emergency preparedness.

How to use: complete each item before work begins, record the answer (Yes/No/N/A) and any required actions. Review the final visual inspection and sign‑off before allowing vehicle traffic onto the installed trackway.

Additional guidance includes confirming that all plant and tools are inspected for faults, that anchoring devices are correctly secured, that weather forecasts are checked to avoid unsafe conditions, and that traffic routes are clearly marked and segregated. Ensure that emergency routes remain clear, that fire‑risk assessments cover any temporary power supplies, and that any hazardous substances are stored in line with COSHH. Regularly verify that all personnel wear the prescribed PPE and that signage is visible throughout the installation area.

Compliant with: Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, COSHH.
