91热爆

If you are planning or managing either a 91热爆 event, or a jointly organised event, please see the Event Safety Guide pages.

What Can Go Wrong?

• Someone could get hit by a moving vehicle.
• Trips, falls, collisions.
• Items falling from height, during unloading of equipment, for example.
• Risks to the general public etc.
• Crushing in crowds /unruly crowd behaviour.
• Exposure to this loud noise can cause permanent deafness or other forms of hearing damage such as tinnitus (a ringing in the ear) or other impairments, which can occur in combination with hearing loss.
• Inadequate welfare facilities available.
• Risks caused by inappropriate use or failure of temporary structures.

Legal/91热爆 Requirements

• Attendance of Working Safely in Crowds Training course is required for those working in crowds where behaviour is likely to be ill humoured, antagonistic or involve an element of protest. It does not qualify staff to operate in a volatile crowd or where public disorder occurs.
• The Control of Noise at Work Act 2005 requires employers to ensure that their employees are protected from exposure to excessive noise levels that could have a detrimental effect upon their hearing.

Control Measures

General Controls

• Check for press/media arrangements made by organisers. If there is no provision, talk to others on site, including the person in charge and agree what work will be carried out and where.
• Create a safe working area to operate within. It may be necessary to hire extra security personnel to ensure the 91热爆 area or compound remains a safe working environment. This should be done in consultation with the promoter/ organiser.
• Make yourself aware of hazards on site, particularly vehicle movements and unregulated traffic.
• Identify where there may be a risk from noise and who is likely to be affected. Reduce & keep to a minimum the amount of time exposed to the noise. Ensure hearing protection is provided (including noise reduction rated headphones) if assigning staff to foreseeably noisy places.
• Never obstruct emergency exits and consider how your work will affect others e.g. trip hazards from cables.
• Give consideration to the public - particularly the disabled, elderly and children.
• Unless specifically planned to work from amongst the crowd, find a safe vantage point to work from.
• When working within the crowd; plan working positions, considering emergency escape routes and agree fall back plans.
• Stay alert to changes in crowd mood and density. Use a second person/event steward as a spotter.
• Ensure access to toilets, warmth, shelter, a quiet rest area and food etc.
• Locate first aid point - if provided. If not, ensure adequately first aid trained staff are present.
• Be aware of changing conditions e.g. darkness, weather.
• Wear suitable clothing and footwear.

Vehicles

The following guidelines are for staff to assess both the access/egress of 91热爆 vehicles to a site, and help to recognise risks due to procedures put in place by a third party.

All traffic routes for vehicles around premises, venue or site must be adequate to meet the needs of the vehicles visiting the site. The points of vehicle access and departure from a site must be assessed for the provision of suitable security arrangements. Vehicle traffic routes must not compromise the safety of pedestrians.

The routes for vehicles must:

• be of suitable size for the vehicles using them and the direction of flow;
• have a speed limit that is no greater than 10 mph;
• be adequately lit;
• have appropriate signs to give directions to drivers;
• take into account other routes and traffic that may exist on the site;
• be kept free from all obstacles, rubbish or unauthorised parked vehicles;
• be kept free from snow and ice and any risk of skidding;
• be kept separate from pedestrian walkways wherever practicable;
• not generate a risk to other operations carried out at the premises;
• have manoeuvring space at loading bays and positions where vehicles will need to load or unload people or goods.
• Banks men wearing High visibility clothing will be used where appropriate.
• the risk of exhaust emissions from vehicles entering buildings must be minimised.
• emergency exits from buildings that lead onto a vehicle route must be protected from blockage by parked vehicles or other obstacles.
