Typical hazards & measures

  • Manual handling injuries — Provide training on proper lifting techniques for all staff and volunteers. Use trolleys or forklifts for heavy lifting and ensure teamwork for large loads. Review tasks to eliminate unnecessary heavy lifting.
  • Aggressive behavior or altercations — Train staff to de-escalate situations and provide security personnel for conflict management. Create a clear set of rules and guidelines for attendee behavior, and communicate them ahead of time.
  • Safeguarding concerns — Implement a robust safeguarding policy that includes background checks for all staff and volunteers. Provide training on recognizing and reporting safeguarding issues. Display clear signage indicating the presence of safeguarding officers and establish a confidential reporting system.
  • Overcrowding at specific exhibits — Monitor the flow of visitors and restrict access to high-demand exhibits if necessary. Use timed entry or a queuing system to manage crowd sizes.
  • Inadequate crowd management — Assess expected attendance and plan crowd flow to prevent congestion. Employ trained crowd management personnel to monitor and guide attendees. Use barriers and signage to direct movement and maintain order.
