HSG195 The Event Saftey Guide provides guidance to help those who organise music events so that the events run safely by bringing together information needed by events organisers, their contractors and employees to help them satisfy the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSW Act) and associated regulations.
It replaces ‘The guide to health, safety and welfare at pop concerts and other similar events’. Changes in health and safety law and the continuing development of ‘best practice’ have led to this new guide.
It will enable event organisers to understand the needs of others concerned with the event, such as local authorities and the emergency services, so they can all work together to improve event safety.
