In this session students will understand what the key health and safety issues are at a large event.

The Learning Outcomes

Learn about the way business enterprises operate, working conditions and rights and responsibilities in the workplace. Engage with ideas, challenges and applications from the business world.

Introduction

Show the students the TRU PowerPoint presentation Health and safety event.

Explain that in today’s lesson they will learn about risk assessment and method statements in the context of a rock concert or festival.

Activity

Working in groups, students should draw a rectangle onto a large piece of paper, following the template on the TRU PowerPoint presentation Health and safety sitemap. Using this as the site map and working on the theory that the site can hold up to 5000 people, the students should then start to plan out the site map and their event using the notes on slides 3 and 4 of the PowerPoint presentation. They may wish to do this using Post-It notes to enable them to move things around on the site map.
