Health & Safety Principles

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.

Health and safety regulations are a set of legal rules and guidelines designed to protect workers and the public from harm or injury in the workplace and other environments. These regulations aim to ensure a safe and healthy environment by outlining specific requirements for employers and employees to follow.
