Our Emergency Preparedness team support our local authority partners in matters of public safety at events to ensure the right level of medical and first aid provision is available for the event.
If you are planning on holding an event, you are strongly advised to complete a comprehensive Medical Risk assessment. The level of medical provision your event requires will come from this assessment. You (or your medical provider) should also produce a Medical Plan detailing where, when and how you are going to mitigate those risks identified in your risk assessment and provide appropriate medical cover for your event.
Further advice on completing the risk assessment and medical plan should be sought from publications such as The Purple Guide, HSE Guidance or professional Health & Safety/Medical advisors.
Failure to complete a Risk Assessment or Medical Plan may leave you open to prosecution and/or litigation should an incident occur.
Your local Safety Advisory Group (SAG) is also available for advice – contactable through your Local Authority / Council.
