This will be a legal requirement in many circumstances. The following guidance should aid you in carrying out your risk assessments. An example form to record your findings has also been provided at the back of this document.\nYou will need to upload risk assessment documents when submitting an application.\nIdentifying the Hazards\nAll hazards should be identified including those relating to the individual activities and any equipment. A hazard is something with the potential to cause harm. Only note hazards that could result in significant harm. The following should be considered:\nAny slipping, tripping, or falling hazards.\nHazards relating to fire risks or fire evacuation procedures.\nAny chemicals or other substances hazardous to health (including food and drink)\nMoving parts of machinery.\nAny vehicles on site.\nElectrical safety e.g., use of any portable electrical appliances.\nManual handling activities (loading and handling)\nFalls e.g., from ladders, structures, or trailers.\nHigh noise levels.\nPoor lighting, heating, or ventilation.\nAny possible risk from specific demonstrations or activities.\nCrowd intensity, movement, and pinch points.\nMoney handling .\nThis list is by no means exhaustive, and care should be taken to identify any other hazards associated with the activities at the event.\nIdentifying Those at Risk\nFor each hazard identified, list all those who may be affected. Do not list individuals by name, just list groups of people. The following should be considered:\nStewards.\nEmployees.\nVolunteers.\nContractors.\nVendors, exhibitors, and performers.\nMembers of the public.\nVulnerable persons (young children, the elderly etc)\nPotential trespassers.\nLocal residents.\nAreas to consider\nThe following are examples of areas to consider:\nType of event.\nPotential major incidents.\nTypes of attendees such as children, elderly persons and the disabled.\nCrowd control, capacity, access and egress and stewarding.\nProvision for the emergency services.\nProvision of first aid.\nFire, security, and cash collection.\nHealth and safety issues.\nExhibitors and demonstrations.\nAmusements and attractions.\nStructures.\nWaste management.\nAssessing the risk\nThe extent of the risk arising from the hazards identified must be evaluated and existing control measures considered. The risk is the likelihood of the harm arising from the hazard. You should list the existing controls and assess whether or not any further controls are required. The following should be considered:\nAny information, instruction and training regarding the event and the activities involved.\nCompliance with legislative standards, codes of good practice and British Standards.\nWhether or not the existing controls have reduced the risk as far as is reasonably practicable.\nFurther action necessary to control the risk\nClassify risks into high, medium, and low. Examples of risks falling into these categories are as follows:\nFor each risk consider whether or not it can be eliminated completely. If it cannot, then decide what must be done to reduce it to an acceptable level. Only use personal protective equipment as a last resort when there is nothing else you can reasonably do. Consider the following:\nRemoval of the hazard.\nPreventing access to the hazard e.g. by guarding dangerous parts of machinery.\nImplement procedures to reduce exposure to the hazard.\nThe use of personal protective equipment.\nFind a substitute for that activity/machine etc.\nRecord the Risk Assessment Findings\nUse the attached Risk Assessment Form to record all significant hazards, the nature and extent of the risks, and the action required to control them. Keep this for future reference or use. You could also refer to other documents you may have, such as manuals, codes of practice etc.\nReview and Revise\nIf the nature of the risk’s changes during the planning of the event, the risk assessments will need to be reviewed and updated.\nI","cbCaiouirUQn0Mwy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiouirUQn0Mwy","docx",123885,44,"English","# Identifying the Hazards\n## Identifying Those at Risk\n## Areas to Consider\n# Assessing the Risk\n## Further Action Necessary to Control the Risk\n# Record the Risk Assessment Findings\n# Review and Revise\n# Information","[{\"question\":\"What hazards must be identified in an event risk assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Identify hazards that could result in significant harm, including those related to individual activities and any equipment.
