A safety plan contains at least seven elements. A description of the event and the location. A capacity overview per space. The staffing of security and first aid. An evacuation plan with escape routes. A communication plan for the production team and external services. And a description of how you deal with the most common incidents. Start six to eight weeks in advance. Coordinate it with the venue manager, the security service and, if applicable, the municipality. The safety plan is both a permit requirement and an operational tool.
