A Festival Risk Assessment is a mandatory document required under Irish health and safety legislation for any organization planning to hold a festival or large-scale public event in Ireland. This document serves as both a legal compliance tool and an operational management framework, designed to identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks associated with festival activities. It must address requirements set forth in multiple Irish regulations, including the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, the Planning and Development Act 2000, and various EU directives applicable in Ireland. The assessment covers all aspects of festival operations, from crowd safety to emergency procedures, and must be regularly updated to reflect changing conditions or circumstances. It is typically required for licensing applications and insurance purposes, and serves as a key reference document for all stakeholders involved in festival planning and execution.
