Fundamentals of Event Safety Online

Promoting a "safety-first" culture in the events industry across Africa

Across Africa, various Acts, Regulations, Standards and Bylaws require every event to appoint a competent person to act as an event safety officer to ensure the safety of staff, performers and spectators.

Severe penalties also apply if an event safety officer is not appointed, or if the appointed person is deemed incompetent following a review of their qualifications and work experience.

This six-week online course provides information and insight into the role and responsibilities of an event safety officer.

Presented as a series of workshops led by subject matter experts, this course provides the information you need to meet your legal requirements and create a safe event.

By using real-life examples, you’ll learn how to instantly identify hazards that could cause harm and create event safety documentation that includes organisational details, crowd management plans, and emergency procedures.
