Has anyone done a risk assesment for Kid's shows? I understand that It
is a requirement for insurance puposes.
Wondering if anyone's ever been asked provide one with a claim or has
any advice.

Cheers

I think that to expect a risk assesment to be done even if it is for insurance purposes is at the least excessive at the most it is totally rediculous. Firstly to do a risk assesment properly you need an accepted accreditation whether it is an IOSH or NEBOSH, and for those interested the lesser of the two the IOSH involves a five day course plus examination if you are absolutely sure that you want to do this first write a cheque to the HSE for £3500 and I am sure that they will find a course for you to attend.

 

Seriously though I really do think that a risk assesment is ludicrous unless you are going to do many magic tricks involving members of the public and lots of fire. I would question any insurer that wants a written risk assesment before providing cover. If anyone has major problems I hold an IOSH certificate and will gladly give guidance to anyone that feels that they need it.

I recently got asked to do a risk assesment the problem was that the
client didnt really know what they were asking for and i certainly
didnt, i sent them something but they said it was right but it was ok
for the job

so i am still none the wiser
