Event Safety Management Cape Town
The primary responsibility for the health and safety of employees, attendees, members of the general public, and contractors involved in an event rests with the event host. By providing event safety management services, Zenith Safety Consultants may help you meet these legal and moral requirements, depending on the risk rating of the event, further documentation may be required in order for the event to occur.
EVENT SAFETY MANAGEMENT PLAN
When preparing an event, it is critical to consider the safety of all those involved, including visitors, staff, contractors, and members of the general public. An Event Safety Management Plan will help you do this by recording all of the event's health and safety arrangements and processes, such as build/live event/de-rig arrangements, site rules, and emergency procedures/contingency planning. We will assist you in all steps of safety planning, from the start of the build to the end of the de-rig, in order to develop this thorough Event Management Plan and supporting documentation will need to be submitted and a permit obtained prior to the event.
When planning an event, you must secure the safety of the attendees as much as is reasonably possible. We will assist you in developing a complete crowd management plan that considers all of the risks posed by the audience in attendance, as well as all of the risks posed by the venue and the event infrastructure to the crowd.
RISK ASSESSMENT
We will assess the severity of the risk versus the chance of it occurring by identifying hazards provided by the activities involved in your production's activities, and if applicable, recommend appropriate control methods to considerably decrease or eliminate the risk. The risk assessment is a vital document required to identify the risk rating of the planned event and to provide guidance of the risks of the event and mitigation measures required.
CONTINGENCY PLANNING & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In the event of a big crisis or emergency, contingency plans and emergency procedures are put in place to ensure an effective response. A variety of factors will influence the contingency preparations and emergency procedures necessary at your event. These plans and procedures will be developed by Zenith Safety Consultants and require third party services such as ambulances etc.
PERMIT APPLICATION
It may be essential to apply for and receive appropriate permits depending on the size or type of event you are hosting and depending on the risk rating of the project.
Our permit application service will assist you in obtaining the necessary licenses, verifying that all license objectives are met prior to submission, and liaising with local authorities and enforcement organizations on your behalf.
CONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT

Zenith Safety Consultants will assist you in engaging competent contractors by ensuring that they provide health and safety documentation such as risk assessments and method statements, relevant certification to complete their activities and appropriate insurances (such as public liability, professional indemnity, and employers liability insurance) where required.
