Lone Working at Events Toolbox Talk

This Lone Working at Events toolbox talk template is designed for event crew and production staff who may be required to work alone on builds, de‑rigs or isolated site tasks.

This document is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to customise it for your specific event.

Use this talk to deliver concise safety briefings before each shift, to refresh crew on lone‑worker procedures, and to train new staff on isolated work protocols. It can also support the review and updating of site‑specific risk assessments, ensuring that each event maintains a high level of safety compliance.

• Use it for pre‑event safety briefings, daily shift start‑ups, and lone‑worker refresher sessions.
• Use it for training new crew members on isolated work protocols.
• Use it for reviewing and updating site‑specific risk assessments.

Using this toolbox talk helps supervisors quickly verify that all lone‑working procedures are in place, reduces the need for lengthy briefings, and can be easily adapted for different venues, stages or outdoor locations. It also serves as evidence of compliance during audits and demonstrates a proactive safety culture.

By following the guidance, organisations can demonstrate compliance with UK legislation, foster a proactive safety culture and significantly reduce the likelihood of serious incidents when crew members are working alone.

Compliant with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and BS EN ISO 45001:2018.
