A review of the management of crowd safety at outdoor street/special events
- Share to:
The focus of the study was the safety of the crowd and the identification of factors that enabled this, including the planning that goes into effective crowd management, the organisational arrangements that need to be in place and the operation of the plans to ensure that, on the day, the crowd experiences a safe event. The researchers studied four distinctive, well known events that took place on streets and/or other public open spaces: Flaming ‘Tar Barrels’ at Ottery St Mary, ‘Hogmanay’ in Edinburgh, ‘Cheese Rolling’ at Cooper’s Hill in Gloucestershire and Notting Hill ‘Carnival’ in London. These four very different events provided a wealth of information and gave a useful indication of significant factors in crowd safety. Good practice identified at the events formed the basis of a generic checklist to assist in supporting the safe management of special outdoor events.
