This month we've got Halloween and a whole host of spooky events on that theme. If you're organising a Halloween themed event this year you're likely to be dressing a venue with all manner of spiders' webs, fabrics and special effects. Don't forget: 🔥 Make sure your fire risk assessment accounts for all of the decor you're installing 🧟♂️ Be careful not to block emergency exits or cover emergency exit signs. 🧟♀️ Fabrics need to be fire retardant. They can be inherently fire retardant or they can be coated with a fire proofing spray. 👻 If you've got actors as part of the event, make sure you assess the risks to them. They might be lone workers, and they might be exposed to risks from the audience, especially if your event is a scare maze! Either way, they will definitely need their welfare considering. 🎆 If you have special effects as part of the event, make sure they are properly planned, appropriate for their location, and properly risk assessed. 🔌 Plan your electrical distribution properly. This is the time of year we find overloaded extension leads all over the place! What else should we be considering for our Halloween events? #safetyacument #halloween #healthandsafety #safetyfirst #eventprofs #eventmanagement #sheffield #sme #eventproduction

🎃 Did you know that Halloween ranks as the second-largest commercial holiday in the U.S., generating over $9 billion in consumer spending? Read More: https://lnkd.in/euST3aQp As we prepare for a spooktacular celebration, let’s also prioritize safety in our communities and businesses. Here are essential Halloween safety tips, particularly for homeowners and business owners: 1. Secure Your Property: Ensure walkways and entry points are well-lit and free of tripping hazards.
