By employing the services of Safe not Sorry you are already showing a commitment to health and safety and complying with existing legislation, that you have “employed or engaged persons who are suitably qualified in relation to occupational health and safety to provide advice to the employer concerning the health and safety of employees of the employer.“

Relevant Risk Assessments with effective and

attainable control measures is just one part of the

process to ensure public, contractors & staff safety.

To complete the risk assessment process, all hazards, where reasonably practicable, need to be identified. It is through the management of these risks including implementation of controls, and in addition the monitoring of the controls effectiveness, that you then actually prove evidence of compliance.

Safe not Sorry has extensive knowledge of the requirements of Occupational Health and Safety legislation in Australia and recognises that the event organiser needs common sense advice to protect the event from the possibilities of litigation.

This includes either criminal via the relevant governing body, i.e.: Worksafe, Local Authorities, Police or other enforcement authorities and civil claims by employees, performers, contractors and members of the public due to a breach of the duty of care owed.

Have you got eyes in the back of your head?

That’s OK; we will be the safety eyes and ears

on site at your event!

Imagine discovering post event, that there was a trip hazard during the whole event period. When a situation needs to be resolved that is beyond, we will consult with you to ensure that the ‘show will go on’ with minimum interruption.

“In the event of an incident, your event

documentation is going to come under close scrutiny.”

Australian Occupational Health and Safety legislation imposes a duty, not only for you to provide appropriate procedures in the event of an emergency but also for example that you arrange for the provision of medical facilities, rescue procedures and that you liaise with external agencies.

Event emergency planning is not just for emergency situations but is also a process to identify and prevent incidents escalating significantly and provides you, the event organiser with the means to keep the event open and ongoing.

By providing an honest and clear approach, Safe not Sorry will work with you and your team to provide the event with a comprehensive document that detail what is needed and who are the relevant people to carry it out.

It is essential in these situations that you and your team are familiar with the procedures prior to an incident as no one wants to or does start reading a document at the time of a crisis!

It is essential that everyone has,

a basic awareness of the hazards.

The creation of an event or exhibition involves a vast array of contractors, subcontractors and staff carrying out different tasks at the same time, in the same place and usually within a very tight timeframe.
