Car boot Risk Assessment

A comprehensive Risk Assessment for car boots.

A car boot sale, also known as a boot fair or swap meet, is a distinctive type of market that allows individuals to sell their unwanted household and garden items directly from the trunk of their cars or designated spaces. These events serve as a practical and eco-friendly means for participants to recycle items they no longer need, while simultaneously offering others the chance to discover unique bargains. Typically organised in open fields, parking lots, or designated community areas, car boot sales often attract a diverse array of vendors, including families decluttering their homes, small businesses, and hobbyists looking to showcase handmade goods. The lively atmosphere of these markets is enhanced by the interaction between buyers and sellers, creating a sense of community and camaraderie as people haggle over prices and share stories about the items they are selling. Overall, car boot sales provide a vibrant platform for circulating goods and promoting sustainable consumer practices.
