Event Risk Management and Safety

The complete guide to event risk management, safety, and security

Practical strategies and resources for any size event!

With any event comes risk-from rowdy guests at a festival or convention to a life-threatening riot at a sports event. Event Risk Management and Safety provides a comprehensive resource for managing event risk and limiting liability for modest and grand events. Presenting theory and practical applications, this book covers topics such as measuring risk, alcoholism and drugs, crowd control, fire safety and emergency medical services, food and water safety, outdoor events, and much more.

The collapse of the bonfire tower at Texas A&M, a bomb at the Atlanta Olympics, a food poisoning outbreak at a company picnic -- each year, thousands of accidents resulting in injury, death, and significant financial loss occur at events. This book provides assistance to event organizers, managers, and planners to reduce, in some cases eliminate, these types of losses.
