when managing health and safety you must take everything in to account, from minor things like falling over/drinks being spilled etc, to the extreme such as injuries/faulty equipment. you need to identify anything that may cause harm to people or or towards the venue. a risk assessments are in order to keep everything in check, they don have to be long essays but just so that it simply spots all the hazards out.
making sure everyone leaves the event happy and unharmed at an event sometimes won't be an easy job and not everyone will follow the rules and regulations. having counter procedures for there actions like if they were to go into certain areas that are off limits what would i do to prevent that happening and what would i do if someone manages to pass through?.
risk assessments are also placed for staff is have and emergency staff are also available just incase something bad happens or a staff member needs to leave.
how would you assess the workplace?
have each area searched?
start by having the venue is properly checked throughout so there are no hazards around, and be sure to check all facilities are working. depending on the size of the venue you have to consider if something bad was to happen, how would you ensure that everyone gets out calmly and safe. each venue has to have at least 1 escape route/exit per 60 people./ 2 exits for 600 people. size of the door is important you can't use just any old door, a 750mm door width in a normal fire risk premises has a capacity of 100 people and a 1050mm door can take 200.
there have been rare cases of people being suffocated from falling down during an event, loud music and hundreds of people dancing around and not notice you on the floor struggling for breath

this table shows some of the faults that may happen within the live event. anything in the yellow or above i would take caution to and try figure a way out how to prevent it. people often get drunk when at events and that can lead to a number of things like fighting and other aggressive behaviour. security will be set to deal with those problems. having minor problems like someone stubbing there toe won't really be assessed because it isn't a huge problem and whats the odds on a seriously problem happening from that? theres no frequent hazards that are major, if there was the event would be cancelled.
