Event safety will be managed under ASG’s Safety Management System (SMS), aligned with ICAO SMS principles and the CIA Safety Officer Handbook. Key elements:
o Governance: Clear roles & responsibilities for the Safety Manager, Safety Officer and Safety Action Group (SAG).
o Safety risk management (pre-event and ongoing):
o Hazard identification;
o Risk assessment (likelihood x severity);
o Selection and implementation of risk controls/mitigations.
o Emergency preparedness: A coordinated Emergency Response Plan (ERP) with local medical, fire, security and other authorities, including call-out procedures and on-site coordination.
o Resources: Appropriate medical, fire and security personnel and equipment at relevant venues and activities.
o Safety assurance: Continuous monitoring by Event Safety Officials, daily safety briefings, occurrence reporting, and incident/accident investigations with corrective actions.
o Safety promotion: A “just culture” enabling all participants to report hazards and occurrences without fear of unfair punishment.
