We provide services at public events. Managers are implying that if the event organiser has provided a risk assessment we should only then need to provide an extra assessment of any significant risks specific to our activities. As our staff may be affected by activities of the event for e.g. noise, lighting, weather, provision of welfare facilities etc etc By requesting managers to do this there is a feeling that there is unnecessary repetition. Surely we need to record these in our risk assessment as we are responsible for the safety of our staff at the event.

HI LAB123, you need to address, assess and evaluate, all hazards that present a risk to your staff's and others health and safety during build up, the evnt and breakdown. This should be in conjunction with the event guide and other appropriate guidance notes and legislation. This assessment and evaluation can be on one form or on individual forms but not be generic and should be specific for the event you are attending.

if you need any more advice please email me

regards stephen

HI LAB123, yes you are right you need to undertake specific assessments for your company whether the management company has a risk assessment or not
