Event Risk Assessment (Pre-Filled)

About this document

What it’s for

Event organisers must assess the risks to staff, contractors, volunteers and the public, and record the significant findings. A written risk assessment is also required by insurers, venues and Safety Advisory Groups. This template is pre-filled with common event hazards so you can adapt it quickly.

When to use it

  • When planning any event
  • Reviewed as plans change and immediately before the event
  • On the day, using the dynamic risk log to record new risks and decisions

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.

How to complete it

  • Walk the site with the plan and adapt each row to your event
  • Add hazards specific to your activities (for example rides, animals, water, fireworks)
  • Make sure actions are completed before the event and share the findings with staff and contractors

Key points to check

  • Collect and review contractors’ own risk assessments for their activities
  • Higher-risk activities may need specialist assessments (for example fireworks, inflatables, temporary demountable structures)

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
