Event Risk Assessment

Identifying Risks and Preventing Incidents at Events

Every special event presents unique security challenges. Event risk assessments evaluate potential hazards, operational weaknesses, and emergency preparedness to prevent injuries, liability, and property damage. Expert analysis provides attorneys, venue operators, and organizers with authoritative insights to support legal cases and ensure compliance with industry standards.

What is an Event Risk Assessment?

An event risk assessment is a detailed examination of security measures, operational protocols, and emergency response plans. The goal is to identify threats before incidents occur and determine whether venue staff and management took reasonable steps to protect attendees. Key evaluation areas include:

Operational procedures – Reviewing security staffing, access control, and staff preparedness.
Crowd safety –
Evaluating crowd flow, bottlenecks, and emergency egress plans.
Alcohol and substance management –
Ensuring responsible service and monitoring intoxicated patrons.
Emergency readiness –
Testing evacuation plans, medical protocols, and communication systems.
Policy and compliance –
Verifying adherence to local regulations, industry best practices, and written procedures.
✔ Threat identification – Assessing potential risks such as violence, medical emergencies, or crowd disturbances.
