Health & Safety
We’re on your side!
It’s imperative to have a suitable safety infrastructure in place (see flowchart). Our team of qualified and experienced safety consultants ensure that you don’t get caught out – and help make your event safer to boot! The nature of the event industry poses logistical problems for Organisers wishing to fulfil their legal duties under the Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HASAWA74) and the various legislation derived from it, especially when dealing with Contractors.
esp events helps Organisers and their Exhibitors to carry out their legal duties in such a way as to:
- Reduce the likelihood of accidents during Buildup, Open and Breakdown periods;
- Reduce the possibility of legal action taken against you, so far as is reasonably practicable;
- In the event of prosecution, reduce your potential liability to the minimum

Whilst we can provide all the safety cover you need for onsite, to get you started our Safety Consultants helped to create ‘The Guide to Managing Health & Safety at Exhibitions and Events’…phew!...which is why we simply called it the Red Book! It’s a guide that outlines your duties under HASAWA74 in plain English whether you are an Organiser, Venue, Exhibitor or Contractor. It’s a vital and helpful guide and available via the AEO website www.aeo.org.uk free of charge. Please contact us for a free, informal chat about any queries you may have.

Quotes:
“Health & Safety is ridiculous. Who needs it?”
“Trying to comply with legislation is a nightmare!”
“I’m too busy to think about safety – I’m trying to run a company here!”
“What’s a Risk Assessment?”
In these days of increasing injury claims and Regulations, we’ve heard all of the above, and worse!
The fact is, we know exactly what you mean.
Health & Safety can threaten to bog you down in a mire of seemingly endless rules, regulations, do’s and don’ts. You’ve got a busy company to run and yet you have to find time to comply with the Law.
Health & Safety
How do you do it?
Well, esp events would be pleased to help you for a start.
We can offer you a no-nonsense, plain English approach to all your H&S requirements and help you comply with the Law. And more importantly, reduce the likelihood of accidents in your workplace.
Which is excellent for both company morale and your wallet!
Still, enough waffle. If you would like us to help you comply with the Law then you’ll find us approachable, knowledgeable and efficient. In short, we speak your language. With Risk Assessments (including a free site visit) starting at only £450 plus vat then we hope you’ll find us an affordable service too.
