About this template
Complete this risk assessment while you plan a public or private event, and again when the site, the numbers or the programme change. It follows the Regulation steps of finding hazards, managing risk, maintaining controls and reviewing them. Eight worked rows show how to score the main event hazards, and blank rows are ready for your own. It prints no crowd numbers, wind speeds or distances.
