Personal Protective Equipment required:
All Marshals will wear personal high visibility clothing as required for their roles and will be identified with a BGFCC Tabard with a unique
number for identification purposes which will be issued to the marshal at the time of signing on.
Emergency Instructions & First Aid:
A majority of marshals and road crews are suitably qualified and experienced people who have received relevant training. A team leader and
road crew captain pre‐job brief is held prior to the carnival to ensure all participants receive required information on any changes since the
previous year.
New road crew members and marshals are given ‘buddies’ to coach on the appropriate behaviors required.
Additional risk assessments are available for specific areas such as Squibbing, collection etc.
All personnel taking undertaking a marshalling role will be briefed prior to the procession by their team leader in relation to the emergency
procedures and first aid arrangements dealt with by the relevant emergency service. All marshals are issued with written instructions at the time
of signing on outlining BGFCC procedures and requirements.
Further control measures required? If yes, list with actions

Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival Risk Assessment For Collection Vehicles
Activity Title : Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival Committee:
Use Of Collection Vehicles And Personnel On Collection Routes
Date of assements 24/10/17
Location of activity: Parkway, Bath Road, Monmouth Street, Broadway, St Mary Street, High Street,
Cornhill and Mount Street in Bridgwater, Somerset. Date of event: 04‐11‐2017
Brief description of activity:
The Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival Committee (BGFCC) runs a traditional Carnival procession which involves a number different
types of entries including towed collection vehicles for the purpose of raising funds for local Charites.
Each of these collection carts is custom made and towed behind a motor vehicle with a number of personnel walking behind collecting
any coins that have missed. As with any vehicle combination in a carnival procession there are inherent risks and hazards that require managing to ensure the safety of all people involved and watching the procession.

Non procession traffic on route and merging with carnival traffic/personnel
M M L Road closures will be in place at all junctions to introduce a sterile area along the procession route to minimise the chances of non-procession vehicles entering the procession route during the carnival procession.
When collection vehicles are in procession there is a requirement for a minimum of 2 persons identified to act as road crew for the collection cart (not collecting money) and 1 of these 2 people to be collection cart captain who will be in charge of the collecting vehicle and all personal and be in radio contact with the control room this person will be identifiable through wearing a specific hi vis waist coat. This is to ensure the safety of the collectors, help the driver negotiate the procession route and maintain crowd control, especially where small children are likely to run out after dropped coins or other vehicles are closely following the collection vehicle.
All persons walking with the collecting vehicle are to be given a ‘pre-job brief’ before the collecting cart enters the procession route to discuss all potential hazards, maintaining situational awareness, identify peoples roles and responsibilities and what actions to be taken if an incident occurs.

collectors/Cart Crew and
Announcers
People injured by thrown coins
M L L
All collections trailers used in the procession will be of sufficient height (not exceeding 5 metres high) to prevent coinage being accidentally thrown over the trailers.
Marshals are also briefed to look out for people deliberately throwing objects in an unsafe manner and to contact Silver Control for assistance if required.
Collection personnel must not walk alongside the cart in the path of thrown projectiles, and should maintain
L
Children running out to pick up coins missing the
collection carts M M L
Road crew Pre Job Briefs will include being especially observant of children suddenly running out of the crowd to collect change that has fallen on the road.
All collecting trailers have extending sides to catch as many coins thrown short as is practically achievable without exceeding the 3.35 metre width limit. Collectors follow the collection trailers picking up stray coinage to minimise the amount of coinage on the road.

3 Slipping and tripping
hazards
Collectors/Cart Crew and
Announcers
Potential adverse weather (high/erratic winds, lighting
etc) to increasing risk of ‘injuries’
H M M
Weather condition checked before the carnival and pre job briefing of collectors and collection cart captain to identify changes in conditions and actions required to minimise risks (walking further behind cart, no one alongside vehicle etc)
L
Uneven road surfaces or slippery surfaces (diesel
spillage etc) M M M
Suitable footwear to be worn and road conditions reviewed during the procession by road crew lead to ensure any issues are identified before the collecting crew meet the issue

4 Manual Handling
Collectors/Cart Crew,
Announcers and collection counters
Potential injuries received whilst moving/transferring collection money from the collecting cart to additional
transport
H M M
Ensure all personnel are fit for duty and capable of bending and lifting, do not attempt to lift loads if they feel unable to do so
Correct manual handling techniques to be employed and the load to be less than 20 Kg (HSE recommendation).
Minimise the distance the loads are carried and ensure the ground is even and suitable for the actions to be carried out.
If an injury occurs, stop the lifting immediately and the injured person should seek medical advice as soon as practicable
L
5 Fire from the
portable generators
Spectators, Marshalls,
collectors/Cart Crew and
Announcers
Potential for ignition from the portable generator exhaust system or electrical wiring
H M M
The generator must be positioned on the cart in a stable location and adequately fixed in an immovable position to ensure the unit does not become dislodged, fall or move towards ignitable materials.
The fuelling of the generator must be completed before the procession starts and under no circumstances can refuelling take place with the generator running or whilst the engine/exhaust are hot and could cause ignition to take place

Electrocution from the portable
generator & electrical systems
Spectators, Marshalls,
collectors/Cart Crew and
Announcers
Potential for electrofusion from the electrical systems
fitted to the cart (lights, wiring and power supplies etc)
M M M
All wiring and electrical equipment must be suitable for the conditions it will be used in (water proof, good condition, BS compliant etc) and fitted in a safe manner.
No exposed wires or connectors are to be allowed and the wiring loom must be covered where practicable to minimise the risk of electrocution to people near the cart.
A failsafe trip system should be employed to cut off the power supplies in the event of contact with a live circuit

Personal Protective Equipment required:
All collection cart personnel will wear personal high visibility clothing as required for their roles and collection ca captain will be identified
with different tabard to ensure they are easily identifiable from the collection crew and the road crew ‘captain’ should be
distinguishable from other road crew members
Emergency Instructions & First Aid:
The road crew captain should be suitably qualified and experienced having received relevant training. A road crew captain pre‐job brief is to
be held prior to the carnival with all participants to ensure they receive the required information required before the collection cart enters the
carnival procession, including emergency procedures and first aid arrangements dealt with by the relevant emergency service.
New road crew members are to be given ‘buddies’ to coach on the appropriate behaviors required.
Further control measures required? If yes, list with actions
This risk assessment must be reviewed at the venue prior to the event taking place and any findings recorded and, where necessary, the
additional control measures implemented.
