Gas Safety

Weather

 

Ensure that you are dressed appropriately for the weather conditions.

 

Personal Hygiene

 

Please wash yourself in the hand basins provided as often as you are able and always before handling food.

 

General Public

 

When working during the event, special care should be taken to protect general public. Attention should be given to warning them of hazards, and being prepared for unexpected responses from those who may be disorientated or unaware.

 

Drug Abuse (The abuse of alcohol and substances such as solvents)

 

Drug abuse can impair judgement and performance, and put at risk the drug taker, fellow employees, contractors, the general public and the environment. Any employee unfit through this will not be allowed to work. Smoking is not allowed in any structure. The appropriate signage must be on conspicuous display in your stall.

 

Disciplines, Appeals and Complaints

 

All traders have a duty to co-operate with the Licensee and to comply with the law in matters of health and safety. Failure to do so or to follow safe working practices after receiving suitable advice and encouragement may result in disciplinary action. This is dependent on how serious the offence was and whether or not it was an isolated incident. Disciplinary action could consist of verbal or written warning, suspension or eviction for cases of misconduct.

 

Anyone given a verbal warning which is considered unjustified may ask for it to be referred to the Trader Management Team. Prior to dismissal or suspension, the Trader Management Team will make an investigation. Appeals should be made to the Trader Manager within 7 days in writing. Complaints about Health and Safety should be made initially to Trader Management, who will attempt to rectify the problem.

 

If an appropriate resolution is not obtained the employee may refer the matter to the Event Management Team for discussion with the Trader Manager and others if appropriate.

 

Music Systems

 

Due to licensing restrictions, no sound systems will be allowed on any trade stalls. Anyone ignoring this will face immediate closure and eviction without compensation.

 

Soft Drinks and Water

 

If you wish to retail soft drinks and/or water we will inform you closer to Wilderness which brands you can sell that don’t conflict with brand partners that we may have at the event.

 

Wilderness may dictate the purchase route for soft drinks and water at any time. DO NOT assume that you may procure soft drinks from any supplier. If in doubt ASK.

 

 

 

 

SITE RULES

 

Upon successful application, all working personnel will be provided with site specific Site Rules. Prior to your arrival on site, each member of staff is expected to have read these Site Rules and have a clear understanding of their obligations with respect to health and safety on site.

 

A Yellow & Red Card policy has been introduced at Wilderness to decrease the amount of Health and Safety breaches and unsafe work practices on site.

 

Process

 

• If the offence is minor and the situation is of low risk a warning will be given.

 

• If you are seen repeating the offence, or the original offence is of high risk, a Yellow Card will be issued.

 

• If you are seen re offending after being issued with a Yellow Card, you will be issued with a Red Card.

 

• A Red Card may be issued straight away depending on the severity of the offence.

 

Yellow Card = Record of offence.

Red Card = Fine to the Supplier of £100. We reserve the right to permanently remove contractors from site.

 

Further details of this may be sent along with the Site Rules upon successful application.

 

 

 

NOISE AT WORK

 

The Festival site includes areas where high noise levels will be produced by sound systems. These levels may mean all working personnel are exposed to noise levels above the point at which protective action is required by UK law. The duty to protect staff falls on the Employer, and NOT on Festival Republic/Live Nation; however, we are partners in ensuring no-one is harmed during the event and will work with you to help you make positive steps to look after your staff.  The Festival will zone trading areas as Red, Orange and Green according to the likely level of noise that may be encountered. Each trader has a legal duty to take suitable measures (i.e. providing reusable corded earplugs or other appropriate hearing protection) to protect staff from the hazardous effects of working in loud noise.

 

Upon successful application and siting, if your stall falls in a Red or Orange Zone (which is likely to be the case for all stalls in an entertainment arena), we will provide further information on what these measures are.

 

All traders will also be required to complete a Noise at Work Acknowledgement form onsite.

 

 

SUSTAINABILITY

 

Wilderness take sustainability and the impact the show has on the environment very seriously and are taking measures necessary to help reduce the festival’s carbon footprint. We are looking for the best traders in the industry that share our ambitions.

 

Before continuing with your application, please read our Trader Sustainability Requirements.

https://rbvernon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Environmental_Requirements_-_Food_Providers.pdf

 

 

Failure to comply with our sustainability standards may result in a loss of your pitch and trader deposit.

 

Dedicated sustainability officers will be onsite to ensure standards are being met. Anyone found not to be meeting the requirements may lose all or part of their deposit or be closed for trading for the duration of the event.

 

You can also read Live Nation’s Sustainability Charter (link below)

Menu Pricing

 

Menu pricing conformity is important to ensure the Wilderness customers are not being overcharged/undercharged whilst still allowing for a competitive market at the event.

 

To help you set your menu pricing we have created the documents below giving acceptable guideline price ranges.

https://rbvernon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Wilderness-Menu-Pricing-Food-Categories.pdf

 

If any of your pricing is outside of these ranges you will be asked to justify the price difference when your menu is reviewed.

 

I have read the relevant menu pricing document and understand that pricing outside these ranges will need justification.
