1. INTRODUCTION

The key objective of this Event Safety Management Plan (ESMP) is to provide regulatory
authorities, stakeholders and other relevant parties with a single source of information focusing
on the management of Health and Safety and crowd management at the Rami Kadi Fashion
Show.
It is not a document describing the detailed process of actual event production. A separate
Emergency Management Plan describes how emergencies, contingencies and life-threatening
situations will be handled.
This ESMP outlines suitable and sufficient controls to be adopted by BWS to ensure the safe and
effective delivery of the event. Particular regard is given to the safety of both the public and the
team working on the event.
This document is intended to complement any Health and Safety documents issued by BWS and
is to be considered in conjunction with relevant Health and Safety arrangements provided by
appointed contractors.
All local codes of practice are adhered to as well as internationally accepted event industry
health and safety standards and codes of practice.
Contractors must comply with all BWS rules and regulations and follow all guidance by BWS
personnel.
The overall responsibility for the safe delivery of the event remains with BWS.

made in consultation with the Event Control Team and relevant authorities as far as possible.
Safety Management for the event is split into four distinct phases:
1. Planning Phase
2. Build Phase
3. Public Open/Show Phase
4. Breakdown Phase
Each phase requires its own distinct Safety Management arrangements. The risk and associated
control measures are outlined in Appendix B – Risk Assessment for all phases of operations.
BWS recognises and accepts their responsibility to protect the Health, Safety and welfare of their
employees and contractors as well as members of the public attending the event, and others not
attending the event but who may be affected by the undertaking by providing a safe working
environment and safe systems of work throughout each of the phases noted above.
The Health and Safety of employees, contractors and members of the public is of paramount
importance and it is the policy of the BWS to engender a positive approach to Health and Safety
during planning and operational phases.
5.1 Planning Phase
Vital planning will be carried out during the pre-production phase, before operations commence
at the event, including:
 Appointment of a competent HSE Advisor.
 Appointment of a competent event staff.
 Attendance at planning meetings as required.
 Review of plans and documentation provided by all third-party contractors.
 Development of an overall event risk assessment.

they shall be carrying out. These documents have been requested and will be collated by BWS.

11
ESMP – Rami Kadi Fashion Show

During the pre-production phase, detailed technical drawings, logistics and entertainment
schedules and a range of other documentation will be assembled.
5.2 Build Phase
The priority in the build phase will be to establish a safe working area and ensure that members
of the public are protected from event operations (including the movement of plant and
materials). Access to the build area itself shall only be permitted to authorised personnel.
Before being allowed to start work at Rami Kadi Fashion Show all event staff and contractors
shall undergo a comprehensive safety induction. The induction will be specific to the event and
will cover the specific hazards which may be encountered.
The key point of note being that a safety induction is in place in order to convey significant,
relevant and event specific information to all contractors wishing to work on the event.
Safety inductions are documented and retained in the event safety file.
The owner of Al Othaib farm will provide suitable and sufficient detail of all buried and overhead
services at the venue as well as any significant circumstances directly relating to the event that
may affect the safe operation and or progression of the event. Such information can be used to
ensure that the safety induction is both relevant and current.
A clear method of communication and means of raising the alarm in the event of an incident is
established and must be communicated to all key personnel prior to commencing work on the
event. Communication will be via mobile radio handsets and supported by mobile phones.
On completion of technical installations and temporary structures, a competent person from the
relevant contractor will be required to produce a Completion Certificate.
It must be BWS aspiration that such certification shall meet British Standard requirements as set
out in EAW Regulations IEE 18th Edition and BS7909; and the Institution of Structural
Engineers ’publication Temporary Demountable Structures 2017 [Fourth edition] (TDS).

 Emergency Exits
 Emergency Services
 Fire Fighting Equipment
 WC Facilities
 Smoking Areas
5.3 Public Open/Show Phase
Prior to opening any part of the event to public access, there will be a formal process of
inspection and review to ensure that all relevant facilities and infrastructure are in place and
these checks will be continued throughout the open/show phase of the event (including safety-
critical infrastructure, unobstructed egress, sanitation, lighting, wayfinding signage and so on).
This formal process is documented in a checklist to be signed each day by the person appointed
to conduct the inspection.
Prior to opening to the public, the following checks will be carried out by BWS:
 Ensure all staff are in designated positions.
 Briefings for security and steward personnel and deployment to positions.
 Security briefings to include base level terrorism awareness and incident response channel
i.e. how to contact event control and the appropriate protocol.

Just before open to the public, an all-channels radio message will be broadcast to let all radio
users know that the event is now open to the public.
Throughout the public opening period, key BWS staff will remain in the venue and will be
contactable by radio or mobile phone within the main event area at all times. Crowd capacity and
behaviour is monitored by security and the HSE Advisor.
5.4 Breakdown Phase
This phase mirrors all controls, arrangements and management systems present during the build
phase.
A detailed breakdown schedule will be produced by the BWS which clearly outlines when
infrastructure/services etc will be removed from the Rami Kadi Fashion Show event.
Appropriate time will be scheduled to allow contractors to safely carry out their
breakdown/removal activities.
Breakdown activities will not be undertaken which may present a risk to the public unless and
until the event is clear. Essential services such as lighting, water and sanitation will remain
functional until contractors have departed.
During the breakdown period appropriate sanitation and welfare facilities will be made available
to staff and contractors.
The venue is inspected for damages and all hazards to the public are removed.

13
ESMP – Rami Kadi Fashion Show

Contractors must plan their work and coordinate their work according to site operational hours
and in a way that it does not endanger anyone on the working site.
6.1 Personal Protective Equipment
All crew members must arrive on site with appropriate Health and Safety equipment (PPE).
It is a mandatory requirement that every person on site wears a high visibility vest at all times
and other suitable safety equipment according to the risk assessment. These include but are not
limited to hard hats, steel toe cap footwear, work gloves and eye protection. Failure to do so will
result in removal from the event.
It is the responsibility of the contractor to supply the necessary PPE equipment for anyone under
their care.
The minimum Standards for PPE used are as follows:

 Safety Helmet: BS EN 397 or ANSI 89.1 :89.2


 Safety Vest: EN ISO 20471 or ANSI 107 Class 2

 Retractable fall arresters: EN 360:2002
6.2 Working at Height
When planning for work at height, consideration will be given as to the nature of the work that will
be undertaken. The first choice will be any existing structure which allows safe access and
provides a safe working place. Where it is not possible to work safely from the existing structure,
an alternative working platform or method will be required. These could be in the form of:

 Fully guarded and boarded tube and fitting/system scaffolds


 Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP)
 Rope access technique
 Safety harness
When using tower scaffolds, they must be constructed in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions by competent persons. Contractors must supply a safe system of work. All lifts must
be fully boarded and edge protection correctly installed. Outriggers must be installed above 4m.
The contractor is responsible for ensuring that:

 Work at height is not carried out where it is reasonably practicable to carry out the work
safely by other means.
 Work at height activities is planned and organised in accordance with Saudi Arabian
legislation and is subject to risk assessment.
 Where work at height activities can’t be avoided then suitable and sufficient measures are
introduced, so far as is reasonably practicable, to prevent a person from falling.
 All work at height activities is supervised and carried out by competent persons.
 Additionally, in relation to work equipment utilised in work at height activities they shall
ensure: That work equipment is suitable and sufficient for the task and fit for purpose.
 That all work equipment is used only by trained and competent individuals.

14
ESMP – Rami Kadi Fashion Show

 All mechanically propelled work equipment shall be moved with the assistance of a trained
banksman.
 Regular ‘thorough examinations’ of equipment and accessories are carried out by a
competent person in line with current legislative requirements.
 All personnel working at height must be trained to do so.
 Rescue plans and procedure for rescue must communicated and agreed prior to work
commencing.
6.3 Construction Methods

Scaffold

All types of scaffolding must be designed, erected, altered and dismantled by competent and
experienced persons and must adhere to The National Access and Scaffolding Confederation
(NASC) Guidance SG4:00, Construction (Health Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 and to
the manufacturer’s instructions (which should be available on site).

Where applicable, stabilisers, guard rails and toe boards must be fitted.

Scaffolding procedures must be included in the Risk Assessments and Method Statements.
MEWPs

Any mobile elevated working platform that will be used on site must have its service/inspection
records and operators manual available for inspection upon request.
Operators must have the relevant license and pre-use safety checks must be completed. A
rescue plan must be submitted and communicated to all affected prior to use on site.
Any person using an MEWP must have the correct PPE specific to the risks of the machine.

Ladders and Step Ladders


The selection of ladders and step ladders MUST only be considered where a risk assessment
has identified that it is not reasonable to use other equipment that prevents falls, preference
therefore must be given to the use of mobile towers or Mobile Elevating Work Platforms
(MEWP’s). This statement does not therefore rule out the use of ladders as a blanket policy.
General Rules for working from a ladder include.

 Lone working whilst using ladders should where possible be avoided.


 Short duration, 15-30 minutes in one position.
 Light work, no strenuous tasks involving carrying or supporting heavy materials.
 Three points of contact maintained.
 Person and equipment combined do not overload highest stated load.
 No overreaching, both feet on same rung.
 Leaning ladders must only be used on firm level ground and must form an angle of
approximately 75° to the horizontal, i.e. 1m out for each 4m of height.
6.4 Manual Handling
‘Manual Handling’ means any transporting or supporting of a load (including the lifting, putting
down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving) by hand or bodily force.
Where via risk assessment it has been identified that a significant manual handling risk is
present, a more detailed and specific manual handling risk assessment will be carried out in
order to avoid the operation or reduce the risk of injury to the lowest level reasonably practicable.

Particular consideration will be given to those who:

 Are known to have a history of back, knee, or hip trouble, hernia or other health problems
which may affect their manual handling capacity.

15
ESMP – Rami Kadi Fashion Show

 Have previously had a manual handling injury.


 Are, or have recently been, pregnant.
 Are a young person between 18 and 21 years of age.
6.5 Hand and Power Tools
 Most activities will include hazards associate with hand and power tools.
Safe Use of Hand Tools:
 All tools to be maintained in good condition.
 Tools to only be used for the task intended in line with the manufacturer’s instructions.
 All tools to be inspected by the user prior to use.
 All tools to be appropriately stored to avoid damage.
 All damaged tools to be removed from use immediately.
 Tool tethered while working at height.
Safe Use of power Tools:
 Battery operated tools are highly recommended. If this is not practical due to operation
reasons 110V equipment may be used.
 240V equipment are not allowed at site.
 All 110V equipment must have the appropriate PAT certificate.
 All personnel using power tools must be competent.
 All tools to be maintained in good condition.
 Do not use AC tools on a DC power supply (vice-versa).
 Ensure the correct current rated circuit is used (never modify a 15amp plug to fit into a
10amp socket).
 Do not use power tools in the rain or wet environments.
 Do not carry a power tool by its power lead.
6.6 Lifting Equipment
Contractors are expected to provide their own lifting equipment unless agreed in advance with
the Site or Production Manager.

The contractor will ensure lifting operations are undertaken by competent persons who are
licensed and qualified by provision of appropriate skills, knowledge, training and experience.

The number and type of fire extinguishers and other firefighting equipment with relevant locations
can be found on Appendix D - FFE Distribution Plan.
The Emergency Egress Plan can be found in Appendix C – Emergency Management Plan.
The fire risk assessment can be found as part of Appendix B – Risk Assessments.
All fabrics and materials used on site must have fire retardancy certificates.
All tents, marquees and enclosed spaces must have smoke detectors and emergency lighting.
These will be referenced in Appendix D – FFE Distribution Plan.
Deployment of Civil Defence
Civil Defence presence will be decided on an event specific basis. Their presence is intended to
guarantee swift reaction to larger incidents. They will make their presence known to the Event
Controller once they have entered the event to confirm the amount and location of their trucks.

9.2 Hot Works


All hot works are subject to the issue of a Hot Work Permit by the HSE Advisor or
Site/Production Manager. The issue of the permit is subject to the advance submission of an
acceptable method statement and risk assessment for the hot works activity.
Where acetylene cutting/welding, arc welding, soldering, gas/oil blow lamps, grinders, metal
burning, brazing and other operations generating heat are carried out, either during the build-up
or breakdown periods of the event, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent damage to
property or injury to persons by sparks, fire or heat.

works.
Work area will be inspected before work is carried out, assess precautions taken and issue the
permit.

10. WIND MANAGEMENT

Decisions regarding the safe running of an event need to be taken well in advance of reaching
operational wind loading capacities.
The wind reference chart below will help to clarify the relationship between various wind
measurements and it must be noted that, 12 meters per second, is a strong wind and site
conditions may start to become hazardous at this speed.
A weather station or an anemometer must be installed as soon as is reasonably practicable and
must be constantly monitored when conditions are likely to cause a hazard.
All contractors building any structures outdoors must submit wind load calculations and a wind
management plan for that structure through the event organiser to the venue.

21
ESMP – Rami Kadi Fashion Show

Careful consideration must be given to wind management throughout all phases. At the planning
stage, advice should be given regarding site layout, considering site orientation in relation to
topographical location.
The following procedures consider all of the event production elements.
During the build and live phase, the construction of scaffold towers, high truss or elevated
platforms, use of access equipment or roof climbing must cease if gusting becomes continuous
above 12 meters per second (43KMH). (Based on industry standard, access equipment
manufactures recommended maximum operational wind speed)

At Action Level 1. When monitoring registers, a wind speed gust more than first identified
speed, in conjunction with an increasing general trend of recorded high wind speeds, then all

22
ESMP – Rami Kadi Fashion Show

staff involved with the installation/erection of structures should be put on alert that action may be
required to delay the erection process until safe working conditions have returned. This process
should be adopted into the overall site wind management plan.
At Action Level 2 It is recommended as safe practice for a site safety meeting to be convened
to assess the overall site conditions when wind speeds are at or near second identified speed) in
conjunction with an increasing general trend of recorded high wind speeds. (This can be varied
subject to onsite risk assessment). This should be adopted into the overall event safety plan and
preparations should be made regarding show stop procedure and full or partial evacuation of the
site should wind speeds increase making site conditions unsafe.
At Action level 3, when monitoring registers, a gust wind of over third identified level in
conjunction with an increasing general trend of high recorded wind speeds, and determined by
risk assessment, then show stop should be implemented, any stages evacuated, and a safe
perimeter imposed around structures. The structure must immediately become a hardhat area for
essential personnel only. A safety meeting will identify subsequent action such as the lowering of
production.

11. MEDICAL PROVISIONS

o A photo of the person can be transmitted via a WhatsApp communication group.
 The Head of Security will remind the staff member to remain with the person in their location
for 10 minutes. It is important that staff do not leave the location where the person was found

 If the person is reunited with their family/friend, the staff member will update the Head of
Security, who will then alert ECT that the person has been reunited and the case is now
closed.

member will radio through to the Head of Security that they are escorting the person to the
BOH office.

member at BOH office will contact the Head of Security to say the person has been received,
before the staff member that delivered the Vulnerable person leaves the BOH office.
 The Head of Security attempts to reach the parents by telephone.
 The Head of Security will give another call to all channels after 15 minutes.
 If the person is not reunited after 20 minutes, the Head of Security notifies Police with the
location of the person and the case is logged and closed.
 When the person is reunited at the info booth, the dedicated event staff will alert the Head of
Security. This enables the Head of Security to log and close the case.
 The same reporting procedure is followed if a friend/family presents him or herself as having
lost their person. The Vulnerable person is escorted to the BOH office after 10 minutes so
that when the person is found, the s can be told where the Vulnerable person, so they can be
reunited with their family/friend.
