An event is defined as:
A planned and organised occasion involving activity in a specific location and for a limited time that members of the public can attend. The activity can take place either indoors or outdoors, on public land or in private property. The activity or occasion can reasonably be expected to attract a public gathering that is not part of the normal course of business at that location and time.
The event organiser has a legal duty to plan, manage, monitor and re-evaluate the event to make sure that the audience/attendees, workers, contractors and volunteers are not exposed to health and safety risks.
Health and safety management should be an integral part of managing your event. It involves practical steps that protect people from harm and, at the same time, protect the future success and the growth of your event.
