    Keeping your event safe

    All event organisers have a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 to help keep workers, volunteers, contractors, subcontractors, participants, attendees and the wider public safe. Even if your event runs for only a day or a weekend, it is considered a workplace under the Act and must be planned and managed accordingly.

    Events often involve several organisations working together in the same place, so it is important that everyone communicates and coordinates their activities to identify and manage risks. Because every event is different, careful planning before your event is one of the most effective ways to create a safe experience for everyone involved.

    By submitting this application, you are confirming that you understand your responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and will take all reasonably practicable steps to meet your duty of care when planning and delivering your event.

    If you have already confirmed your venue, please upload a copy of your signed venue booking confirmation. This helps demonstrate that appropriate venue arrangements are in place. If your venue has not yet been confirmed, you may provide the booking confirmation once it becomes available.

    Upload new file
      If you have confirmed your venue, please upload a copy of the signed booking confirmation or venue hire agreement. If your venue has not yet been confirmed, you can provide this later before your event proceeds.
