Tongue firmly in cheek. Given what I've seen lately on TV, the Reg4 hierachy of control must be strictly applied, with a view to eliminate or avoid!

On a serious note, much of this is going to depend on the suitability of the venue. The actual activitity related hazards should be few and far between if you're talking song-and-dance routines. A different matter if you're expecting fire-eaters and acrobats.
Maybe a bot of crowd control if you're offering money or TV opportunities.

Acoustic shock must be a concern, surely?

Hi Leah,

Some info on the HSE - http://www.hse.gov.uk/en...tainment/information.htm - that may help (if you haven't looked already of course!).

P.S. loved the lack of intrest comment, may put that on my Risk Assessments just to see if anyone notices!!

Hello

Is this an outdoor event? Controlling access and the weather can cause a few challenges as they say.

I was involved in an event in the middle of winter that was going to be filmed, and we had some interesting discussions with the artistic director who loved the idea of the event being outdoors with the snow and ice turning the town centre into a winter wonderland. THe problem was his grand idea would have meant school age children standing around in sub zero temperatures on ice covered roads after dark for about 4 hours.....

Still, if your event is in the near future, it should be above freezing - just!
