A risk assessment is required to show that you have considered any potential risks / hazards that may arise for the 

a) artist (s) creating the work

b) members of the public that may be impacted by the creation and or installation of the work

 It is particularly important to consider how the work is going to be installed / created on site and whether paths / roadways need to be closed. In some cases the erection of scaffolding or use of equipment such as cherry pickers may be necessary and the expenditure for such items should be considered in your proposal.

Proposals that are not properly risk assessed will not be considered for funding.
