The tools

We utilise a range of event-safety-

specific tools, which augment the traditional risk assessment matrix application.

Developed by Prof. Keith Still SFIIRSM.
We select the appropriate tools.

SLIDE 7

DIM-ICE Meta-Model

We define events in influences,

phases and modes.

Influences = Design, Information &

Management

Phases = Ingress, Egress &

Circulation

Modes = Normal & Emergency

Risk Mapping

Risk changes over time during an

event, which is something the traditional Risk Assessment matrix doesn’t allow us to fully address.

Mapping risks is a powerful planning

tool & more powerful communication tool.

RAMP Analysis

We consider attendees approach to

& departure from the event site in terms of Routes, Area, Movement & Profile (People).

This helps us plan resource and

staffing deployments in particular.

SLIDE 22

Queuing theory

We use a basic queuing formula to

model queues to identify when a system will fail.

This failure will generally result in

crushing / crowd density beyond that which we consider safe.

SLIDE 23

Decision-Support Matrices

We take relevant info and display it

in matrix form to aid in speedy decision-making during events.

Gives us a base-line that tells us

what we EXPECTED to see, against which to gauge what we ARE seeing.

SLIDE 24

SLIDE 25

Simulations

Generally speaking, pen and paper

can tell us what an expensive simulation will.

Some clients / orgs insist on

simulations eg. UEFA.

Garbage in, garbage out.

SLIDE 26

The end results

190,000+ people across 47 sold out

‘Wild Lights’ events in Dublin Zoo.

60,000+ people at an Arts Festival in

Saudi Arabia.

Approx. 400,000 people at Fleadh

Cheoil na hEireann across 7 days.

20,000 runners & tens of thousands
f spectators at Dublin Marathon.

SLIDE 27

The bottom line

We relish the challenge of planning

and executing safe events.

We take it very seriously – as we

should – but we enjoy doing what we do.

SLIDE 28

A final thought

I don’t see our role as being to

eliminate risk. The only event devoid of risk is the one that doesn’t happen.

Our role is to facilitate the creative

& challenging visions of our clients and realise amazing, safe events.
