Health and Safety must always come first when planning an
event or events and is certainly the case when we plan one.
However, if you are planning your own event, we can advise on many aspects of event-related Health & Safety issues. With increasing government expectations and requirements for safety at events, together with ever more advertisements offering “no win no fee” litigation services, now is the time to ensure your event is as safe as possible.
Whilst we strongly recommend always approaching the emergency services for their in-depth advice when planning your event(s), we can also suggest ways of maximising safety in key areas including:
|
|
Risk management, risk assessment (and how to write one) and disaster planning |
|
|
Key responsibilities for staff |
|
|
Choosing safer venues |
|
|
Setting up safer arenas and barriers |
|
|
Audience access, viewing and exits |
|
|
Safety information for visitors and staff |
|
|
Stewarding & safety marshalling |
|
|
Performers’ safety requirements |
|
|
Site security |
|
|
Archery and the use of projectile weapons |
|
|
Gunpowder and explosives |
|
|
Use of horses and other animals |
|
|
Performers’ camping arrangements |
|
|
Fire and flood |
|
|
Parking, cars and pedestrians |
|
|
Working with the emergency services |
|
|
Insurance |
Be safe and be seen to be safe!
