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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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
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.
