Risk Assessment: Vetting Risk Assessment

Organisers should vet risk assessments to make sure they have been done properly. The following are common indicators of a poor risk assessment:

Too simplistic, does not cover the range of risks
It is simply a big book of all the risk assessments that the company has ever done without any attempt to relate it to the show
It contains obvious and erroneous references to the last show they did
Generated by head office so the team on the ground have no idea what is in it
Long overdue for review
It has clearly been done by someone who has never worked in an event venue.
