This brief toolbox talk is designed for venue and theatre crews who manage the movement of equipment and personnel during the set‑up and tear‑down phases of concerts, festivals and other events. It highlights the most common hazards – heavy manual handling of flight cases and rigging, loading‑dock operations, work at height on platforms and catwalks, and the pressure of tight schedules – and provides clear, practical steps to control those risks.
By following the guidance, crews can protect themselves, their colleagues and valuable equipment while keeping the event on schedule. The content is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to tailor it to the specific layout and procedures of your venue.

Compliant with: Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and BS EN 12512:2020 (Safe handling of loads).
