Health and safety

trip hazard – cables using cable ties to tie them together creating space for people on stage.

weather conditions- if performing outside coverage for electric equipment in case of rain and shelter for audience and stage. Hot weather at festivals can be dangerous so giving out free water to make sure everyone is hydrated would be good.

correct equipment- using right equipment to prevent accidents such as tripping or falling off stage.

stage setup/positioning – making sure you aren’t blocking the view most importantly making sure everyone on stage is comfortable with their surroundings and being careful with extra platforms on stage and adding barriers a couple meters away from the stage to make sure nobody climbs onto the stage or falls of.

footwear to prevent slipping – walking/running/jumping on stage could be dangerous especially if the stage is high or wet from weather conditions or jumping off platforms. footwear is important to provide extra grip for anyone on stage and making sure everyone is safe.

ear plugs- noises above 85dB are harmful so ear plugs are necessary at practices and gigs. At concerts the noise levels are roughly 120-129dB which will effect hearing of the audience.

first aid – making sure there is a first aid kit nearby and somewhere on stage. maybe an ambulance if outside in a field at a festival food and drinks stands nearby.

safety and emergency exits- in case of fire emergency exits to be visible for everyone. and fire extinguishers on site.
