Your duties as an event organiser
An event organiser has a duty to plan, manage and monitor the event to make sure that workers and the visiting public are not exposed to health and safety risks.
Health and safety doesn't have to be complicated. Information on HSE's Health and safety basics for your business webpages will make it easier for you to comply with the law and manage health and safety in your organisation.

For many events, all that's required is a basic series of tasks. These webpages will take you through the steps getting started, managing an event, after an event, planning for incidents & emergencies and help you make sure you are doing what you need to do.
