Typical hazards & measures
- Weather exposure (wind, rain, heat) — Anchor tents/gazebos with weights, secure canopies, and monitor forecasts. Provide shade in hot weather, non-slip mats in rain, and suspend service in storms/extreme conditions. Inspect setups regularly.
- Slips, trips, and uneven ground — Inspect site before setup, level flooring where possible, and fit non-slip mats behind counters. Keep walkways free of clutter, tape down cables, and monitor high-traffic zones throughout service.
- Electrical safety with temporary supplies — Use RCD protection on extension leads, waterproof connections, and cable ramps to prevent trips. PAT test appliances annually and inspect before each event. Train staff in safe isolation of faulty equipment.
- Waste and wastewater management — Store waste in sealed bins with lids, empty regularly, and use licensed disposal sites. Maintain capped wastewater tanks, empty only off-site, and disinfect weekly. Keep logs for regulatory checks.
- Manual handling of stock and equipment — Train staff in posture and team lifting for heavy crates, tents, and gas bottles. Use trolleys or sack trucks where possible, rotate roles to reduce fatigue, and log handling training annually.
