Production Safety - Concert Touring & Live Events

 

Every show, tour and festival comes with its own set of risks. We help production companies, tour managers, venues and event organisers meet their legal duties and protect everyone on site—crew, artists and the public—without stifling creativity or slowing down the show.

We don’t just write paperwork. We make safety practical, tour-friendly and stage-ready.

​

What we do

Safety shouldn’t be an afterthought.

Good safety management means less downtime, fewer accidents and a reputation for professionalism.

We offer a full range of support that grows with your production, from one-off club shows to international arena tours:

​

Risk Assessment & Method Statements

- Comprehensive, site-specific Risk Assessments that identify real-world hazards and practical controls
- Clear, no-nonsense **Method Statements** that describe *who* does *what*, *when* and *how*
- Documents tailored to venues, outdoor sites, festivals and temporary structures
- Pre-populated templates that save time while keeping you compliant.

​

 On-Site Safety Management

- Dedicated Safety Advisors who work alongside your crew during load-in, show and load-out
- Real-time dynamic risk assessment for last-minute changes (weather, crowd behaviour, equipment swaps)
- Coordination with venue safety staff, security and medical teams
- Incident investigation and reporting if something does go wrong

 

Tour & Production Safety Planning

- Tour-wide safety policies that travel with you across multiple dates and jurisdictions
- Production safety files that venues and local authorities love to see
- Support with CDM (Construction Design & Management) duties on complex builds
- Advance communication with receiving venues to pre-empt problems before you arrive

 

Training & Competence

- Bespoke crew briefings and toolbox talks on your specific hazards
- Manual handling, electrical awareness, working at height and noise at work – delivered in a language crew understand
- Sign-off records that prove your team was properly instructed

​

 Emergency Planning

- Show-specific emergency response plans (fire, medical, severe weather, security threat)
- Evacuation and invacuation procedures that work for both crew and audience
- Coordination with local emergency services and festival control teams

 

Equipment & Electrical Safety Support

- Advice on PAT testing, RCD protection and cable management
- Pre-tour equipment inspections and venue power surveys (see our [Equipment Safety page](#) for full detail)

​

 Why it matters

​

The live events industry is under increasing scrutiny. Venues, insurers and local authorities now routinely demand:

- Up-to-date Risk Assessments and Method Statements
- Proof of crew competence
- Proper electrical test certificates
- Clear emergency plans

​

No paperwork often means no show.

We make sure you walk into every venue with everything they need, so you can focus on delivering an unforgettable performance.

​

Who we work with

​

- Solo artists, bands and touring ensembles
- Tour and production managers
- Festival organisers and site teams
- Theatre, dance and corporate event producers
- AV, lighting and sound hire companies

No production is too small (or too large) to need a safety net.

 

How we work

​

We come to you—on site, in rehearsals, or via video call. We’ll:

1. **Listen** to your production plan and identify key risks
2. **Build** documents that reflect *your real way of working*, not boilerplate nonsense
3. **Support** you on the day, whether that’s a brief phone call or a full on-site presence
4. **Review** and update as the tour evolves

Everything we do is designed to be lightweight, readable and genuinely useful – not a filing exercise.
