More details from the Event Safety Alliance (www.eventsafetyalliance.org):
Everyone has a role to play in putting on a safe event. However, the ultimate responsibility for ensuring both workers and guests make it home at the end of the night lies squarely on the shoulders of an event’s leadership, both legally and dutifully. Despite this awesome obligation, the event industry has so far lacked a comprehensive safety training program tailored to the specific needs of those working in leadership positions.
Until now.
The Event Safety Alliance is pleased to announce the inaugural Event Safety Summit, a four-day symposium and hands-on workshop designed to increase your awareness of the safety risks at your events and teach you to address those risks more effectively.
Who Should Attend?
People with significant authority for making reasonable safety decisions at live events, and those who could be held responsible if something goes wrong. Production managers, tour managers, stage managers, event producers, vendor crew chiefs — This Means You!
What Will Be Addressed?
Classroom instruction will be led by subject matter experts who will engage participants in discussions tailored specifically to the live event industry. Topics will include:
- Planning for severe weather events
- Creating a unified incident command system
- The elements of an event safety plan and procedure
- Event Safety Access Training
- Legal issues and the “standard of care”
- Partnering with public safety officials
- Working effectively with your insurer
Where, When, How Much?
Training and hands-on application will take place at Tait Towers’ campus in Lititz, Pennsylvania. Instruction will run from Tuesday, December 2, 2014, through Friday, December 5, 2014. Registration cost per participant will be $1,750.00, which includes instruction, materials, food, entertainment and local transportation. Participants will be responsible for lodging and airport transportation costs. ESA will provide registrants with preferred hotel and transportation options.
Why Have An Event Safety Summit?
We take seriously ESA’s motto, “Life Safety First.” As event industry leaders, we feel it is imperative to learn and implement safe practices, and teach others to do the same. Because those who fail to learn the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them.
