Medical Services

Working with your local council and police is important to figure out what medical services are suggested for your event. Most events have at least a doctor or highly trained medical staff, a health and safety officer and an emergency medical transport team. It is always good to have more medical staff to provide for more safety. These staff members are important for many reasons:

–          Provide an environment for participants to feel safe and more relaxed

–          On-site personnel to handle emergencies quickly as soon as they happen

–          Available experts that can monitor safety and health and can answer any safety or health questions

–          Can determine which conditions are unsafe and how safety can be improved

 

Having this staff at the event is a must. With participants recreating and exercising this leaves the potential for participants to become ill or injured, which will require medical attention.

To prevent intervention of medical staff it is also helpful to consult any available resources that can examine the risks of your event. This could help reduce the insurance expenses as well as provide an even safer environment for your participants.
