Typical hazards & measures
Fire hazards
— Ensure that the venue complies with fire safety regulations, including the availability of functioning fire extinguishers and clear, unobstructed exits. If candles are used, place them in stable holders away from flammable materials, and consider using LED alternatives.
Loss of power
— Have a backup power source, such as generators or battery-operated devices, for essential equipment. Test these backups regularly to ensure reliability and communicate plans to staff in advance.
Traffic congestion
— Coordinate with local authorities to manage traffic flow. Assign personnel to direct vehicles, provide clear maps or instructions for parking, and consider staggered arrival times for attendees. Arrange for shuttle services if parking is limited.
Fireworks or ceremonial fires
— Follow local regulations for permits and safety guidelines. Designate a safe area away from flammable materials and ensure fire extinguishers are readily available. Have trained personnel manage any fire-related elements of the ceremony.
Food safety concerns
— If food is served, ensure it is prepared and stored following food safety guidelines. Use reputable caterers with proper certifications, and provide options for individuals with dietary restrictions. Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold to prevent bacterial growth.
