Health and safety at a venue;

Fire hydrants
Security
No drugs as it is illegal and influences other people and makes people not think about there actions.
No drinks on the dancefloor so there will be no people slipping on the floor so less injuries and less chance of spills on electric equipment
Check for faulty electrics so there will be no fires or bad sound quality etc
Easy access and plenty of fire exits so if there is a fire there will be enough for everyone to evacuate the building quickly and safely
No drinks near electrics so that no fires can be caused that aren't controlled (E.G pyrotechnics) 
No wires or cables showing/as trip hazards so people cant fall over and break bones or pull equipment of stage into the audience
Medical supplies nearby at all times so if anyone has any serious injuries they can be treated immediately until ambulance arrives
Venue capacity- if there are too many people then more security will be needed to stop fights or drug use etc and also there will be people getting trampled etc
Pyrotechnics safety- make sure nothing can catch fire on stage or in the audience
If the music is too loud then it can damage eardrums and cause deafness or tinnitus
