Event Emergency and Major Incident Plan

About this document

What it’s for

Every event needs a clear plan for what happens if something goes wrong. Emergency services and Safety Advisory Groups expect organisers to have agreed procedures, decision-makers, triggers and messages in advance, so that decisions can be made quickly and calmly on the day.

When to use it

  • As part of your event management plan
  • When briefing control room staff, supervisors and stewards
  • During a table-top exercise before the event

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.

How to complete it

  • Agree who has authority to stop the show or evacuate
  • Set weather and other trigger points with your suppliers and the SAG
  • Pre-write PA and social media messages and test them

Key points to check

  • Agree with the police at what point they take command of a major incident
  • Make sure emergency routes and rendezvous points are kept clear throughout the event

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
