Safety considerations for your event

Here are some of the things you’ll need to consider in order to manage event safety. Your needs will differ depending on size and location - the larger the event, the more you need to think about!

Crowd control

Barriers, ropes, chains, queue systems - all of these help to ensure that everyone’s where they’re supposed to be. Whether you’re funneling crowds into queues or keeping the public away from restricted areas, your barriers need to be stable, adaptable, and easy to handle.

Traffic management

It’s important to guide vehicular traffic into the right places. Show attendees where to park and trucks where to deliver equipment by deploying signage, cones, and robust barriers. Safety mirrors help you to see what’s happening around the corner, which is ideal for security as well as safety.

Ground protection

Expecting heavy footfall and large numbers of vehicles? Event matting helps to prevent damage to outdoor surfaces like grass or soil, and provides a stable, non-slip surface on uneven ground. You can also use it for bringing in equipment before the event.

Trip and slip hazards

We already mentioned non-slip matting, but you can also minimise the risk of trips with cable and hose covers and ramps. This also stops cables and hoses from getting damaged, meaning you can run them to anywhere in the event space.

Visibility

Hi-vis vests keep staff visible for safety purposes, while members of the public can easily identify who to ask if they need help. Barriers and cones with reflective surfaces show up even in low light or for night-time events.

First aid

Accidents can happen at even the best-run events. As well as ensuring there are trained first aiders on site, it’s best to maintain a well-stocked kit with everything you might need to treat minor injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make sure my event is safe and secure?

The right equipment goes a long way towards ensuring event safety, but you’ll also need to carry out a thorough risk assessment to make sure you haven’t missed anything. All staff should also receive training before the event.

What’s the best type of barrier for crowd control?

A good crowd control barrier needs to be robust and stable so that it doesn’t collapse and cause chaos or injury. It’s also best to choose barriers that link together, avoiding any gaps. Not sure what to pick from our extensive range? Give us a call.
