Event Safety Training - Nov & Dec 2024

August 13, 2024

We are pleased to confirm upcoming Event Safety Training course opportunities.

The next Event Safety Training Courses are confirmed to take place online on the following dates:


13 November 2024, 7-9pm

27 November 2024, 7-9pm

11 December 2024, 7-9pm


The focus of the session is to raise awareness of safety management and duty of care issues as they effect:

  • Clubs - both in their normal everyday activities and also when they may engage in running events open to others.
  • Discipline Development Group organised events. 


The workshop provides guidance and support to mitigate responsibilities using the concept of an ‘event span of control’ to bring simple well-organised solutions that people can understand and apply during even the most complex process. 


As an outcome to the workshop attendees cover:

  • Duty of Care
  • Reasonable Action - in line with risk, experience, frequency
  • Risk Assessed Activity - regularly reviewed
  • Practices and Procedure - simple and clear
  • Documented Procedures - evidence based procedures 
  • Appointed Persons - against experience matrix


During the course, participants will:

  • Consider the five stages of event planning 
  • Consider the relationship between those stages & safety management
  • Develop & share experiences
  • Consider centralised resources
  • Consider application against experience through scenario based training


As an outcome we hope to achieve:

  • Common methods for managing risk
  • The use of an event checklist for safety management
  • Greater appreciation of the need for span of control
  • Develop the use of ‘CALM’ in dynamic risk management
