Speakers

Pam Waldron, Head of Operations for HSE’s Field Operations Directorate in the North East will expand on her July SHP article about the ‘Dreamspace’ incident and subsequent trial. She will explain the circumstances that led to the inflatable artwork becoming airborne, the failures of those involved, including the competence issues that the case highlighted, and the lessons for those organising public events.

Cameron Adam, HSE’s new Head of Commercial and Consumer Services and Entertainment and Leisure Section will provide an oversight of the UK Event Safety scene. Adrian Tinson who is leading the review of HSG 195 (Purple Guide) will also give an update of this significant piece of events guidance.

Jon Wort / Resilient Consultants – Experts in crowd control and course facilitators at Easingwold Emergency Planning College, will talk about the theories of crowd dynamics and give practical examples of how to prevent crowd issues at your events.

Northumbria Police Superintendent Derek Scott. Northumbria Police play a major proactive role in North East ranging from football matches to Sunderland International Air show. Today they will give an insight into major event control from strategic to practical implementation (Gold, Silver and Bronze Command). They will also explain how an event manager can utilize event profile intelligence to their advantage and will give examples of how to place contingency plans within your current event safety plans. The benefits of 'table top' exercises will also be explained as a vital tool to the event organiser.

Ken Scott, Author of the Event Safety Guide and Chair of the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) for the Sunderland Association Football Club (SAFC) and The Stadium of Light with regard to major music concerts such as Take That, OASIS and the forthcoming ‘PINK' tour. Ken will detail the processes that the group goes through in preparation for major concerts and the football season and how this evolutionary process is consistently being reviewed and improved.
