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.

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

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


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.
