A Risk Assessment is you looking at your stall, your products, your set up and everything around you that could cause risk and how you are addressing that risk.

​

For instance a risk would be an over long table covering dragging on the floor. The risk is to customers, fellow stallholders and volunteers and is a trip hazard. To prevent that becoming a problem the solution would be to have the table covering secured in place with safety pins or something of the like. Having a heavy ceramic vase at the top of a set of shelves set on your table is another accident waiting to happen, the solution is to have heavy items at lower levels on the shelves or table top.

​

It can be daunting to do a Risk Assessment but once you've done one you will see the potential risks and design your display to minimise these risks.

Health and Safety​

No naked flames are allowed - so no beautifully scented candles can be lit.

​

No use of knives or blades of any kind can be used in the venue - so no papercutting demonstrations for instance.

​

No products or display items in front of the stall - this can be a trip hazard.
