Avoiding accidents

A thorough understanding of Health and Safety issues is essential when planning events - particularly ensuring accidents like this are avoided. EventPlan insists on the highest standards of safety at all events it organises.

We can advise other event organisers and train staff how to spot potential hazards and what to do about them. In this case, the event layout was obviously at fault, allowing someone to stray too close to an archery target, either because there wasn't as safe backdrop to the display or because the arena wasn't adequately secure.
