When large groups of people gather in confined spaces, it can become dangerous.
South Gloucestershire Council works in partnership with the police, fire brigade and ambulance services to provide guidance to event organisers on how to run a safe event.
Event Safety Guide
The group has also produced a guide to help event organisers. This covers a wide range of activities, including:
- Community events
- Marches
- Sporting events
- Bonfire and firework displays
It contains the following sections:
- Introduction to event safety
- Your event and things to consider
- Sources of further information
- Useful contacts
- Event safety checklist
- Safety checklist for events on the highway
- Event notification form
Event organisers must also make sure they comply with the various legal requirements relating to events attended by the public.
