Be prepared for high-profile disasters — as well as the many incidents that are more likely to arise.
Event-safety training might cover a weather event or active shooter scenario, but will you know what to do if an attendee has a heart attack on-site? While it’s important to prepare for major but less common disasters, we can’t forget the incidents that are much more likely to happen, says Alan Kleinfeld, an event-safety specialist and a meeting planner. In this episode of Eventful, he shares best practices for minimizing risks and handling problems with maximum efficiency.
Among topics addressed:
Why we tend to be more prepared for events that are less likely to happen (3:15)
How preparation helps us push past the natural reaction of fear (7:51)
