| Risk | Prevention Measures |
| Tripping over cables. | Keep them neat in one line and use cable covers or tape to keep them all held down and secure out of the way. |
| Open live wires. | Tape up wires that have openings in so that you don’t get electrocuted by it and can’t pour any liquid accidentally onto them. |
| Guitar strings. | Changing the strings can cause you to cut your finger so be very cautious and watch where you put your hand on the strings. |
| Volume too loud. | Use foam ear buds to quieten the volume of your playing and protect them. |
| Heavy objects. | Lift with your knees not your back and if its too heavy for you alone then get someone else to help you lift up the equipment. |
| Falling off the stage. | Avoid the edges of the stage and maintain a balance to keep you steady. |
