Culled from existing life safety standards and the insight of top professionals within the event industry, The Event Safety Guide compiles the best operational practices currently available in the live event industry in a single easily referenced manual. The guide is not a “how-to book” or a complicated set of standards. Rather, it is intended to help busy industry professionals know what safe workplace practices might be, heighten their understanding of the importance of safety in everything they do, and apply these best practices in their daily work. Designed for field use, The Event Safety Guide is categorically organized and written in straightforward and easily understood language. Thirty-nine chapters and five appendixes address a broad range of subjects relevant to most events, including emergency planning, weather preparedness, and fire safety, as well as specific technical issues such as pyrotechnics, rigging, and temporary staging. Included appendixes provide additional resources, including helpful planning checklists and information on the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Incident Command System (ICS). All referenced standards are thoroughly cited within the text to ensure readers know precisely where to turn for additional information. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just starting out in the event industry, you’ll find The Event Safety Guide to be an indispensable reference when planning your next event.

Download or read book Crowd Management written by and published by Events Management and Methods. This book was released on 2019-11-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first text to present a system for crowd management which integrates security with the other concerns for the health and safety for crowds, looking at the theories and practices of the management processes, plans, monitoring and evaluation of crowds. The management of crowds in events and festivals is extremely complex as such situations are unpredictable. Whilst traditional planning is initially used, a fixed plan only works when the crowd is compliant. Every event management team now needs to understand the complexity, the decisions under uncertainty and the long tail risks in order to successfully plan and maintain optimum crowd safety.Structured into four sections (Risk, Management, Security and Health) with templates, explanation points and case studies throughout, each of the sections is written by experts who have global experience in their field of excellence.By William O'Toole, Events Management Specialist, Sydney, Australia with Dr Stephen Luke (Health) Senior Registrar, Team Rubicon Australia College of Intensive Care Medicine, Australia, Peter Ashwin (Security) Principal, Event Risk Management Solutions LLC, Idaho, USA, Dr Jason Brown (Risk) National Security Director, Thales Australia & New Zealand, and Andrew Tatrai (Crowds) Chairman (Non-Executive Director), Australian Concert and Entertainment SecurityThe Events Management Theory and Methods Series examines the extent to which mainstream theory is being employed to develop event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of event management and event tourism. Each compact volume contains overviews of mainstream management theories and methods, examples from the events literature, case studies, and guidance on all aspects of planned-event management. They introduce the theory, show how it is being used in the events sector through a literature review, incorporate examples and case studies written by researchers and/or practitioners, and contain methods that can be used effectively in the real world. Series editor: Donald Getz.With online resource material, this mix-and-match collection is ideal for lecturers who need theoretical foundations and case studies for their classes, by students in need of reference works, by professionals wanting increased understanding alongside practical methods, and by agencies or associations that want their members and stakeholders to have access to a library of valuable resources.
Download or read book An Investigation Into Safety Concerns Within the Live Events Industry at Selected Venues in Gaborone Botswana written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is based on an investigation into potential hazards and health and safety risks in the live events industry at selected venues in the city of Gaborone in Botswana. Specifically, the study aimed to investigate potential hazards and health and safety risks in contemporary Botswana’s growing live events industry, including how the risks can possibly be mitigated. The study proceeded from the basic premise that the live events industry is a highly technical and risk-sensitive industry with potentially catastrophic risks for technical crew, artists, and audiences who either work on, or attend these shows. With this in mind, the study sought to investigate potential hazards and health and safety risks at selected venues within the city of Gaborone, Botswana including the country’s levels of awareness and preparedness to mitigate such risks. The study concluded that this can be achieved by putting proper guidelines and regulations on safety in place at the country’s live events. Much as the study felt that Botswana could potentially borrow freely from similar jurisdictions, the neighbouring country of South Africa has structures and legislation in place that govern its live events industry, from which Botswana can borrow in the first instance. The study came to the conclusion that Botswana has to put in place a well-coordinated national structure that will represent safety interests in the live events industry by having safety guidelines or regulations at live events to minimise hazards. Using a qualitative approach based on direct and indirect observation at specific live events venues in Gaborone, Botswana as well as interviews and questionnaires, the study closely examined potential hazards and health and safety risks in the live events industry in Botswana. This data was then collated, analysed, and used to answer the study’s principal research question which is; ‘What are the potential health and safety hazards in Botswana’s live events industry, and how can health and safety hazards and risks be minimised at the country’s live events?’. Answers to this question were then used to propose some of what can or should be done if the country is to mitigate and solve potential safety concerns in its live events industry.
