Christmas in July

Singing Christmas Songs with piano accompaniment. RISK ASSESSMENT –
* Parking on street with direct access to brewery – no steps. No perceived risk.
* Most of the group will stand on a raised platform approx 6m x 4m x 20cm high. There is a step to one side for those needing this.
Perceived risk – falling off step. Measures taken to stop this – step is next to back wall which can be used to steady oneself. A group member will be responsible for standing on other side to assist singers stepping up. Same will apply when leaving platform.
* No railing around sides and front of platform. Perceived risk of falling off. Measures taken to prevent this..- those standing on stage will leave a metre gap at front and sides. Platform stands flush against a back wall as does the piano.
Other singers will stand on floor at sides of platform whilst singing. Chairs will be offered for those who wish to sit at front on floor level. No perceived risks for them.
* Conductor will stand on large box approx 15cms high and a metre square. Perceived risk – falling off. Measure taken to prevent this – conductor will stand at front of box which adjoins stage/platform. It is a solid box, so no chance of tipping.
* All those singing will be financial members of Sing Australia.
* As Leader and organiser of this event, I am happy with the safe arrangements which have been put in place.
