Safe and sound
)
Sarah Drabwell - General Manager - Sandown Park Racecourse
In the world of event planning, topics such as health and safety requirements can elicit a collective sigh from all involved. At our Jockey Club Venues, including Sandown Park, Aintree and Haydock Park, we recognise the importance of taking care of that. We believe these aspects are not only crucial for ensuring the well-being of attendees but also for safeguarding the reputation of the event itself.
Many of our staff have undergone rigorous health and safety training. There is no need to think about the angle of that ladder or the colour of that fire extinguisher. We are on it, allowing our guests to concentrate on ensuring the success of their event.
Our group runs several large events including the Epsom Derby, the Grand National and the Cheltenham Festival, the largest sporting festival in the UK. The importance of health and safety in events cannot be overstated.
We have everything needed from CCTV operators to Level 4 GNVQ trained safety officers. What’s more, we have incredible relationships with our local safety advisory groups meaning that, for large or outdoor events, we can make sure all the right people have been informed allowing events to pass without issue.
The great thing about being part of a group of venues is having a wealth of expertise at our disposal. Being a member of the Association of Event Venues (AEV) adds to that expertise.
This month, we hosted the AEV health and safety working group bringing together experts across the industry, working together to ensure the significance of robust health and safety measures is understood and executed.
Being known for safe and well-managed events attracts visitors. From small meetings to fun runs, filming to festivals and exhibitions hosting thousands of guests, our experienced events team is dedicated to assisting with all queries ensuring events run smoothly and safely. With over 30 years combined knowledge, there isn’t much they haven’t encountered.
We pride ourselves on taking the risk out of risk assessment to take care of you, your event and your health and safety.
