Certificate in Event Safety & Security Management

Why Attend?

Do you ask yourself “Is my event safe? Am I doing everything I can to keep everyone on site safe? Does my event meet legal requirements?”. Many countries do not have event specific regulations which makes it hard to “guess” what clients and authorities even consider a “safe event”. This course takes away that guesswork and gives you proven, internationally accepted and easy-to follow guidelines for a safe and secure event.

By using real world examples, you’ll know how to instantly identify hazards that could lead to harm. Once the event is set up, security becomes important. Here, it’s all about your attendees. You’ll learn how safety experts calculate crowd capacity, estimate crowd sizes and monitor crowd behaviour.

Course Methodology

Every event begins with the planning phase. Getting it wrong during this phase leads to insurmountable problems down the road. This is where the documentation plays an important role. Producing the necessary documentation gives Event Managers the chance to think through the event and keeps everyone on the same page. This becomes more and more important the larger events get. When staging events, local authorities need to be supplied with proper documents to inform them and gain their approval for the event operations.
