Event Safety Guides

Safety is important when arranging events. And there are a lot of things to consider to make the event safe for everybody (I know from experience from several event I have been working with).

Control Geek blog writes about US Event Safety Alliance Document in Public Review. The Event Safety Alliance is a group of entertainment industry leaders gathered to address the immediate need for universal safety standards for the production of live events. To help to form the standards, the Event Safety Alliance has now released a draft Event Safety Guide for public review.

The guide seem to be based on a European document that you can freely download in pdf format.

    Progress in Outdoor Stage Structure Standard Draft
    http://controlgeek.net/blog/2013/4/15/progress-in-outdoor-stage-structure-standard-draft

    While there is considerable debate about the engineering and design issues regarding these structures, my general point has always been that winds exist (tornado, for example) that can take down just about any practical structure, so these operational issues are really critical.

    as of today you can now download the current standard for free

    Oslossa lauantain ja sunnuntain välisenä yönä pidetyt nuorten bunkkerijuhlat päättyivät järkyttävällä tavalla, sillä 25 ihmistä kuljetettiin sairaalaan juhlista, kertoo norjalaislehti VG.

    – Heillä on ollut kannettavia generaattoreita, joista he saivat musiikille virtaa. Ne ovat päästäneet ilmaan hiilimonoksidia ja poistaneet happea. Siksi sisälle on syntynyt huono hengitysilma, kertoo palokunnan operatiivinen johtaja Ronny Andersen VG:lle.

    This stuff has been known for a while. Yes you need segregated barrier areas along with capacity limits for each area. If you can only have a limited number of people in a zone you reduce the crush.
