Trinidad and Tobago is the meetings and convention hub of the region. We host the greatest show on earth, Carnival, international sporting events, world leaders, top Government officials, top entertainers and the international business community. I ask you the Event Professional, if disaster strikes, if your event venue becomes a shelter, what is your plan? What is your role?
Safety is personal, in the most personal of spaces. Event Safety is an important step in the event planning process as to evaluate and prepare for possible safety incidents. Event coordinators are skilled in taking every detail into consideration, with one exception—Safety!
Whether it’s a meeting of 100 or 100,000 persons it is not just enough to have the Fire Services department or Police Officers at your event, a safety professional must be at the table from day 1.
Often emergency situations are left out of the planning process. Safety is a necessity that should never be overlooked. Oftentimes event management professionals put the emphasis on the decor, food, lighting, speakers and visual details--however overall safety is often disregarded.
The objective of this event is to provide event professionals with the tools to:
- Improve the safety standards for events in Trinidad and Tobago, be part of the movement.
- Ensure that the Event Professional understands his/her role as it relates to safety procedures
- How do we communicate to our audience?
Remember:
- Safety is not negotiable
- Plans won’t save you, proper planning will
- Safety comes first, if safety isn’t right, nothing goes right
- Don’t just talk safety, walk safety.
