I've been looking into trade stalls at some local festivals over the summer. One of them says it requires each stall to complete a full risk assessment covering all aspects of their activities at the festival. I haven't the first clue how to go about this or what those risks might be! Any ideas?

BTW - I probably won't attend this festival is it's rather costly and involves me staying onsite til gone 2am for 3 days running (!), but still interested in case required at other events.

Do a search in legal section, Vanilla and others have asked about that previously. Should be some info on it.

(Em needs to get to 50 posts first).

Inform them that your products and their uses are covered/assessed by whatever and your qualifications - you may well have samples/testers.

If you'll be carrying out hand massage with EO blend or similar then you are qualified to do so and establish by question and answer whether it's appropriate - that's the only possible "activity" which comes to mind ATM.

Identify hazards (potential) what's the risk (someone tripping up etc.) is risk acceptable/avoidable (powers that be tend to forget that risks can be accepted as "acceptable")  how to eliminate risk.

Then check out moving parts to display - presumably nil.

Electrics - lights/ leads etc. if used in display.

Cloths and coverings - none flapping at corners to trip people up

Clips and clamps - none protruding

Boxes and crates - all stowed away

etc. etc.

That's great, thanks EJ!
