BOF accredited Event Safety Workshop
There will be a BOF accredited Event Safety workshop on 11 February 2012, at Harwell, starting 9:00am, ending by 13:00. This is easily accessible from the A34, we also hope to be able to arrange transfer between the venue and Didcot station.
This workshop covers Event Safety in all aspects, so it looks at planning safe courses and how to set up the organisation of an event to reduce or eliminate potential hazards, including the effect of the actions of planners, organisers and controllers. It does cover the risk assessment process and finally search and rescue. So this course is of value to all event officials, not just organisers. Organisers of Level C events and above and all controllers will need to have attended a workshop in the near future, probably by the end of 2012.
Priority will be given to SCOA members, with an upper limit of 30, if numbers exceed this then priority will be given to organisers, people willing to act as club tutors and controllers.
The workshop will be free, travel expenses will be paid at the BOF rate ONLY for people who are willing to act as roll-out tutors to their club. Such tutors will have to be approved by the Event Manager before putting on training for club members.
