What makes a safer event?

We've looked at the latest government and scientific advice, as well as measures that countries who are already out of lockdown have taken, to come up with a comprehensive set of requirements to significantly reduce the risk of transmission at an event. These include:

Delegate Screening
Temperature checks or declaration of health upon entry
Staff Training and Policy
Sick leave, staff screening and social distancing in staff areas
Social Distancing
4 square metres of space per person, no fixed seats within 2 metres, touchless handwashing
PPE
Masks to available and worn during the event. Gloves for staff.
Sterilisation and Cleaning
Venues to be thoroughly cleaned between and during events
Hybrid Event
The event must be accessible online for those who are not able to attend
Food and Beverage
Rigorous food hygiene standards, no self-service, 2m distancing or barriers where masks are removed
Security
Keep your event safe and secure by balancing security risks with health concerns

How can I make my venue safer?

How can I make my venue safer?

Certifying your venue as a Safer Venue will give corporate bookers the confidence that you are taking all reasonable measures to ensure delegate safety.

Hire Space is launching our Safer Venues accreditation to inspire confidence that venues are safe to return to. We will be working tirelessly to ensure that as many venues as possible can safely be accredited so that the industry can open again, while putting delegate safety first.

We will consult with venues on how to implement our Safer Venue measures, arrange fit-out of venues and supply the materials to keep it safe.

Accredited venues will receive a digital and framed certificate, as well as window decals to communicate the accreditation to delegates and a £50 voucher at the Safer Events Shop.

How do I organise safer events?

If you're an event organiser, then we can help provide comprehensive CPD Certified online training so that you can lead your own Safer Events, and inspire confidence with your delegates.

This training covers everything you may need from delegate screening, to social distancing, to PPE, cleaning, and hybrid virtual/in-person event provision.

This training has been built in careful collaboration with event planners, venues and delegates, while also exceeding all existing government guidelines and taking onboard learnings from countries such as Hong Kong and Singapore.

Certified events will receive digital and paper certification, a £10 voucher at the Safer Events Shop and a delegate communication pack to help convey these measures to delegates.
