Typical hazards & measures
- Portable generator hazards — Place generators outside in ventilated areas, fit CO detectors nearby, and use UN-approved fuel containers. Train staff in refuelling only when cool, maintain weekly logs, and keep extinguishers and spill kits accessible.
- 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.
- Cash handling and financial security — Encourage contactless payments, limit on-site cash, and store in lockboxes. Train staff in discreet counting, counterfeit checks, and robbery response. Stagger bank drops and log incidents.
- LPG cylinder leaks and fire — Store cylinders upright in ventilated cages, check hoses daily, and fit leak detectors. Keep extinguishers/fire blankets accessible, prohibit smoking, and service appliances annually by Gas Safe engineers.
- Structural collapse of tents and gazebos — Use frames rated for outdoor use, anchor securely with ballast/pegs, and inspect before opening. Remove damaged equipment, train staff in safe erection/dismantling, and log checks for compliance.
