Events on or Around Water

Updated: 8 December 2025

Please note: The information contained in this chapter sets out good practice that should be considered by event organisers. However, it is industry guidance and does not necessarily cover everything that organisers need to consider for a particular event.

Where events take place in and around water, it is essential to consider the risks involved to those working on the event as well as the public and participants in water-based activities.
