Event planning guide
2b - Fire RA
A risk of fire in the vicinity of an Event is always present, particularly where there are marques, gazebos and mobile catering facilities are located. Other high risk areas are where generators are deployed.
As an event organiser you should document how incidents will be dealt with, such as will you use trained stewards in firefighting in high risk areas and have access to relevant equipment. Any firefighting equipment on site must have been regularly serviced and the current test in date.
A Fire Management Plan would normally include the following information:
- Event Name
- Event Location
- Type of Event
- Event Organiser
- Fire Risk Assessment Date
- Review Date
- Completed by
- Signed
- Description of Event
- Structure types
