The cost of not doing this is too high. Assign this task to one person on the committee to be responsible to complete it thoroughly. While this template will help you consider your event’s risks, you should not treat risk management as a tick and flick process. We recommend that events work with a risk expert to look closely at their event to determine the best way to mitigate and manage risk.\nConsider completing the following documents before beginning the risk management process:\nTraffic Management Plan\nSite safety induction checklists\n\u000f\nStep 1: Identify risks\nThe main risks to consider are things that could:\nCause injury to an attendee or participant (health and safety)\nCause damage to equipment, infrastructure or the event site\nHarm the future of the event or the organising committee (including financial and legal risks)\nThe underlying legal issue of safety is duty-of-care, which means taking all possible steps to avoid potential injury to everyone involved.\nRemember to consider all activities before and after the event is held, such as risks involving people, technology, selling enough tickets, income streams, your site’s terrain, bodies of water, weather, evacuation, fire, temporary structures, lighting, power, conductive wet environments, extension cords, traffic management, food handling, signage, chemicals, accessibility, emergency services access, first aid, sunburn, shade, children, noise, trip hazards, ergonomic safety (e.g. lifting), crowd control, alcohol, drugs, violence/aggression, cash security, rides, competitors, fence jumpers, negative reviews, key staff or entertainers being unavailable, and so on.\nAdd whichever of these risks apply to your event to the end of this document, as well as further risks that apply to your event.\nReview your event plan and think about what type of incidents could impact on each area. Write your notes on identified risks here.\n\u000f\nIdentify each step in your planning processes and think about the associated risks. Write your notes on identified risks here.\nAsk as many ‘what if’ questions as you can: What if we lost power supply? What if key managers were sick on the day? What if there was a storm during the event? What if a major sponsor or grant funding was lost? Write your notes on identified risks here.\nThink about the worst things that could happen to your event to help you deal with smaller risks. The worst-case scenario could be the result of several risks happening at once, such as power loss leading to food spoilage leading to food poisoning leading to loss of reputation, legal consequences and financial losses.
