Understanding health and safety at events including risk, safety and security management
How to Run Compliant, Safe and Secure Events Understanding mandatory event operations Occupational Health & Safety Act, Disaster Management Act, and Insurance and how to assess risk.
With any event there is risk - from rowdy guests at cocktail parties or conferences to a life -threatening riot at a sports event. Event Risk Management & Safety provides a comprehensive resource for managing event risk & limiting liability for modest or grand events.
Unfortunately until something bad happens, many people do not make a dedicated commitment to safety.
PROGRAM OUTLINE:
When something bad happens, fingers are pointed, lawsuits are filed, reputations are ruined, and the emotional and financial consequences are devastating.
You need to ensure that you and your organisation have policies and procedures in place including prevention plans, contingency plans and crisis planning.
