Draft Safety

Health and Safety

The objective of these various pages is to provide guidance some basic safety guidance to all event crew. It is likely that some if not most of you will already be aware of information provided from your workplace; however some may not, especially in the context of the event environment.

As a volunteer we understand that your time is precious and we do not expect everyone to read all of PD's safety policies and risk assessments. We do ask that all crew read and comply with the requirements set out in the links under General heading below. For more specialist roles you will find additional information under the relevant heading below.

If you do have any safety concerns please contact:

To do:

Rename Event Safety - Combat safety

Link the fire safety page - Note for RobW that it may need expanding to be inline with policy - think Gas and assembly points for various parts of site.

Add a page for Traffic Safety and vehicles - small page about speed, site vehicles etc.

Link from the safety page to Children as it includes safety information - does not need any rewrite - just makes it more clear there is safety information there too.

Add a page about Outdoors - this will be the page that the crew link goes to. Ensure it's name correctly for public use and covers all participants - camping, heat and hold, wet etc. footing etc.

Add a page on Terrorism for players - Information regarding PD's plan in the event of a terrorist attack. Mostly that crew have been given information and there is a plan in place. Follow the instructions of crew members where given. Also - RUN HIDE TELL
