Event Safety Planning and Design

This course introduces the principle of 'safety by design,' emphasizing the critical role of safety planning from the earliest stages of event conceptualization and feasibility studies. Building on the foundational concepts introduced in 'Introduction to Event Safety,' students will learn how integrating a safety mindset into the design and planning phases can significantly reduce risks and enhance overall safety. The course covers best practices for involving safety personnel in the initial stages of event planning, ensuring that safety considerations are embedded in every aspect of event design, from site selection to infrastructure layout. Through real-world examples and collaborative exercises, students will learn to develop comprehensive safety plans that address potential hazards before they materialize, setting the stage for safe and successful event execution.
