It would be highly unlikely that an event organiser would have the time to ensure compliance in all the construction activity related to an event, therefore we have Safety Officers who are trained in the OHS requirements of these activities and ensure that the said activities and contracted Service Providers are compliant with the requirements of the OHS Act and its Regulations.
Effective Event Management offer suitably qualified Event Safety Officers who are based on site for the setup, event and strike.

- Inspections of contractors safety files
- Monitoring that workers are working in a safe manner
