If you are an event planner we are happy to advise you on contingencies for your event. We can also offer exercising of event plans.
The key to running safe and successful events is good planning. A Safety Advisory Group (SAG) is the best way to achieve this, bringing together event planners, emergency services and the Local Authority. HSE guidance on the role of the SAG can be found here.
