Event Risk Management

On-site safety at your event is vital. Members of the public expect to attend and enjoy your event safely and securely. You and other event organisers must take action to eliminate or minimise the risks which would result in your event being unsafe for your attendees.

Refer to our Risk Management Principles & Processes or our Event Management Checklist for guidance.

Event Management Checklist (EMC)

Our checklist will assist you in considering a range of scenarios to help identify what needs to be considered when organising an event to ensure the safety of your attendees. It will help you to:

  • Identify the risks associated with the activities at your event
  • Assess the exposure these risks carry
  • Put controls in place to minimise risk, including the transfer of risk through insurance.

A Community & Family Event Public & Products Liability policy is important because it can help protect you against claims for personal injury or property damage by member of the public. Having such a policy in place does not mean risk management at your event is not required. You still need to have a Risk Management Plan in place to try and prevent or reduce the likeliness of hazards.

Event Insurance for Community Groups

As the organiser of a single one-off community or family event there are several key aspects when it comes to insurance and risk management that you should consider. Visit our Event Insurance for Community Groups for more information on what insurance we offer.
