Health and safety at events

Overview

If you organise an event, you must properly manage, supervise and monitor it. 

This is to ensure the safety of:

  • people working at the event 
  • the public attending the event
  • any others who may be affected by the event

Your responsibility as an organiser includes: 

  • avoiding damage to any property
  • preventing fear or alarm to the public
  • minimising disruption to the local community
