Reliable, Professional Event Safety Management

As a trusted event safety provider across Northamptonshire and the United Kingdom, One Team ESM recognise the importance of working closely with our customers to provide a safe, secure and successful event.

All of our Event Safety Managers hold an NVQ Level 4 Diploma in Spectator Safety Management as a minimum requirement and will be available to provide advice, guidance and support throughout the entire event cycle. That’s why One Team ESM is the event safety partner of choice for public and private organisations across the region.

Pre-Planning Phase

When planning event safety, attention to detail is key.

At the point we commence work with our customers, our experts immediately begin to gather vital information. They’ll carry out in-depth risk assessments, covering areas such as crowd management, health and safety, security and traffic control. This will allow us to identify any areas that are likely to pose a safety risk and implement effective procedures to mitigate them.

We’ll also carry out in-depth analysis of the event itself. It will involve reviewing the type of event that is happening, who will be attending and any associated risks. This is because different events pose different safety challenges.

For example, sports fans in a tense, competitive environment are much more likely to act on emotion than business people at an industry networking event. This analysis will help inform our approach to crowd management and event safety when we reach the planning phase.

Planning Phase

Let’s get planning. Having carried out in-depth risk analysis, experts from One Team ESM will begin to compile detailed, coherent security policies and procedures. These are designed to mitigate all of the risks identified and will form a comprehensive record of plans demonstrating appropriate measures have been taken.

During the planning phase, one of our qualified Event Safety Manager’s will also liaise with third parties such as contractors. They’ll ensure appropriate permission is given (where necessary) and arrangements are made with local authorities such as the council and police. 

Whether it’s a festival, concert, sporting event or agricultural show, our experts at One Team ESM factor a crisis management plan into every single event safety strategy. Although unlikely to come to this, it is an essential contingency plan. We’ll envisage a number of emergency situations and prepare appropriate responses for each one. Of course, whilst every emergency situation is unique and ever-changing, it’s critical that they’re mitigated as much as possible. 

Build Phase

Build Phase

Now your event is becoming a reality. The build phase can be a stressful time for event organisers as they seek to ensure everything is perfect for the big day. That’s why our professionals at One Team ESM work closely with our customers to help reduce their workload. Let us take on the work of making sure everything is safe and secure while you focus on other operational areas.

Members of our team will carry out a full site inspection, ensuring all boundaries and entrances are safe and secure. They will also sign off the various areas and structures onsite inline with government health and safety regulations. All activities will be managed and checked in accordance with the safety documentation specified during the planning phase.

Whether you’re hosting a professional football match, a major concert or a public ceremony, we’ll be on hand to make sure everything is right before launch.

Event Safety Management

It’s time for the big event. Don’t worry, we’ll be on hand for its entire duration, ensuring it runs smoothly throughout. Our experts will be available to give any guidance and advice, integrating seamlessly with your staff to create an efficient, effective team. We’ll also ensure that all policies and procedures are implemented and maintained throughout, making any adjustments if necessary.

As we’ve already mentioned, not all events pass without issues. No matter what procedures and policies are put in place, where there is a large gathering of people then there is always inherent risk. Whilst we do everything in our power to identify and mitigate all risks, One Team ESM is able to step in and take control should circumstances require it. This is generally agreed with the customer prior to the event, such as in the event of an emergency.

If this occurred, a highly-experienced, qualified member of our staff would immediately look to act upon crisis management plans established and signed off during the planning phase.

Event Debrief

We pride ourselves on the level of service we provide to our customers and take every step to go above and beyond their expectations. Following the event, we’ll hold a full safety debrief on how the event performed, whether any issues arose and how they were resolved. We’ll also provide a full, detailed report that identifies what went well and where there are areas for improvement. This often provides our clients with substantial value as they’re able to begin planning event safety for the following year straight away.

As a result of over 20 years of expertise in crowd safety, One Team ESM have developed a comprehensive network of contacts throughout this time. If you’re looking for additional services such as security and catering, we’d be more than happy to put you in touch with reputable providers.
