When planning an event, there are so many details that tend to seduce the passionate planner away from more mundane tasks. You get swept up by menus and design, entertainment and florals, and may put key experiential things like health and safety at the end of your list.
It’s time to reprioritize! With flu season and COVID-19 making their rounds, it is important for event planners to pay extra attention to the health and safety of their crowds. Ensuring that everyone leaves in the same state they entered is more important than ever.
Fortunately, the savvy planner has learned that there are quite a few preventative measures that they can take to ensure their event is a safe and healthy environment for guests. See some tips below that will help you to make sure your visitors stay in tip-top shape despite the diseases that may come and go.
Hydration
Many of us take for granted the importance of drinking water. We don’t realize how necessary it is to keep our bodies running. This is especially true when temperatures begin to peak. Hot summer events see many victims of severe dehydration and it’s important that, as an event, you promote drinking water for health and safety. A hydrated body is also more capable of fighting off new bacteria that may enter the body. Make sure to provide free water for guests so you can ensure you do your part to keep your attendees hydrated.
Hand Washing
Handwashing is one of the best ways to prevent the spreading of disease, especially in a crowded setting. We all know how it goes: you touch a contaminated surface, germs are on your hands, you touch your face, now germs are in your body. It can be a vicious cycle, but can also be easily broken by washing your hands. Ensure your guests are practicing this important health and safety tip by providing handwashing stations in addition to your restrooms. Our Hand Washing Trailer is perfectly equipped to handle crowds of all sizes, allowing every guest access to a sink when they need one.
Capacity
Let’s deal with the serious stuff first. When planning your event, paying attention to venue size is an important task because if you fill your venue above capacity, you’ll get fined. The fire department enforces capacity for health and safety purposes. So yes, we all want to avoid that fine! But more importantly, this reminds us to be conscious of crowd size. Overcrowded venues can cause violence and spread disease. Double-check your capacity requirements and listen to what Fire advises. It’s for your community’s own good. Read More...
