A safety plan must include, at a minimum: a description of the event and the venue, a capacity overview for each room, staffing levels for security and first aid, an evacuation plan with escape routes, a communication plan for the production team and external services, and a description of how to handle the most common incidents. Start working on it six to eight weeks in advance. Coordinate it with the venue manager, the security service, and, if applicable, the local government. The safety plan is both a licensing requirement and an operational tool.
