WSH Guidelines Event Management

This training course is designed to equip event organizers, contractors, and professionals in the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events (MICE) industry with the necessary skills to manage workplace safety and health effectively. The MICE industry has become a critical part of Singapore’s economy, with the city recognized as a leading global destination for conventions and events. From corporate seminars to multi-day exhibitions and trade fairs, events in Singapore range in scale and complexity, often held in multifunctional halls or outdoor spaces.

Given the diversity of event types, contractors are frequently hired to manage various aspects, including setup, technical operations, and logistics. However, the nature of event management comes with potential hazards such as working at heights, handling heavy equipment, exposure to electrical hazards, and managing large crowds.

This course provides essential guidance on identifying workplace hazards associated with different event activities and implementing preventive measures to manage the risks. Participants will gain insights into the key safety and health risks specific to event management, learning how to mitigate these hazards through proper planning, risk assessments, and adherence to workplace safety regulations.

The course emphasizes the responsibilities of both event organizers and contractors in ensuring a safe work environment. By understanding the safety risks and applying effective risk management strategies, companies can work toward the goal of zero harm, ensuring the well-being of their employees and event participants.

Through better safety and health management, event professionals will not only protect their teams but also enhance the success and smooth execution of their events. This training is vital for those seeking to maintain high safety standards while delivering successful events in Singapore’s dynamic MICE industry.
