Case Study

Risk assessment for events

1. The description

A clothing company requested the assistance of an occupational health service to complete a risk assessment for an upcoming event. The event was aimed to showcase a new line of clothing using a number of models who had a range of physical and cognitive disabilities. The models were required to walk and showcase the clothes down a 100m catwalk surrounded by various electrical equipment. The organisers required assistance to ensure the floor plan, equipment and electricals used would be appropriate and safe for the models.

2. The intervention

A occupational health service consulted with the event organisers and advised the completion of an in depth risk assessment. A multidisciplinary team from a occupational health service visited the event venue during a rehearsal show. The occupational health team assessed each model's ability to perform all aspects of the catwalk show including walking, stair climbing and descending. The occupational health team also investigated the lighting equipment and displays to ensure none provoked distress or disability such as seizures.

3. The results

With the assistance of an occupational health service the clothing company completed a highly successful fashion show with all spectators and models safe and comfortable.
