A risk assessment is the most effective and efficient way of documenting, assessing and controlling risks under Health & Safety legislation. Completing a risk assessment does not mean that you are guaranteeing no accidents will happen, but that you are taking time to think through your actions in advance and on an ongoing basis are identifying and reducing any potential risks and the severity if it does.

Your risk assessment needs to be specific to the CarFest event, your operations/activities onsite and be carried out within the last 12-months. You need to consider all of your actions and omissions and how they might affect not only your members/staff/crew/volunteers/visitors but also the public.

Should an incident occur, you may need to prove that you took all the reasonable steps to prevent it happening, your risk assessments would be proof of this; without it you could be found liable (both personally and corporately).

As show organisers we have a ‘duty of care’ to ensure our site operates as safely and responsibly wherever possible, reducing potential risks through provision and safety management. In order to do this, we have assessed the risks of our show site, our show procedures and the build - up, show open and break down. We will provide you, as club members/display car owners, with a safe site to work on and operate in.

Any under 18s working onsite will require a Young Person’s Risk Assessment from their employer or guardian. Information and guidance on Young Person's Risk Assessments can be found here.

There are 6 simplified steps to follow when completing your Risk Assessment:

1. Identify the hazards.

2. Decide who might be harmed and how.

3. Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions.

4. Record your findings and implement them.

5. Review your assessment and update if necessary.

6. Think about how your stand will function in the great outdoors; are you prepared for our working outdoors and the challenges it inevitably throws up?
