Fire Points and Firefighting Provision on Event Sites Toolbox Talk

This fire points and firefighting provision toolbox talk template from Health & Safety Zone is designed for event managers, safety coordinators and crew working at concerts, festivals and temporary venues.

It addresses the fire hazards specific to event sites, such as cooking concessions, temporary structures, electrical equipment and high‑density crowds. The talk references the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the BS EN 3‑7 standard for portable fire extinguishers, providing a clear legal framework.

Effective fire safety on event sites relies on regular equipment checks, clear signage, unobstructed access, and comprehensive crew training. By following the steps outlined in this talk, staff can quickly identify hazards, maintain extinguishers in serviceable condition, and respond confidently to any ignition, reducing the risk of injury and property damage.

Adhering to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 not only fulfills legal obligations but also demonstrates a commitment to the safety of performers, staff and audiences. Proper fire‑point provision can also lower insurance premiums and enhance the reputation of the event organizer.
