Facts
The health, safety and welfare of staff, audience and performers must always be the first consideration in the planning, management and running of any show, performance or event; of secondary consideration is the presentation or continuation of the show, performance or event. STAGESAFE will help ensure the show goes on!
There does not need to have been an accident for you to be in breach of health and safety law. Under health and safety law you are guilty until you can prove you are innocent, the reverse of the normal legal system. It is for this reason that keeping records and paperwork are vitally important as they are usually the only way you can prove your innocence.
A breach of health and safety law is a criminal offence and the penalties include high fines, imprisonment, down time, loss of business and reputation, legal costs, medical costs, civil claims, trauma and increased insurance costs, new legislation may even prevent you from running a business in future! Your insurance may not be valid for a breach of criminal law, hence the package we offer could be the best insurance you ever have!
Many things happen best when they are unplanned: sadly, health and safety management is not one of them. Safety has to be carefully planned and managed. It is not a bolt-on extra; it needs thought and input so that it becomes an integral part of your business management systems.

- Many fire certificates found to be worthless
- Too many businesses are still of the opinion that, because they once had a fire certificate and their circumstances haven't changed, they are still complying with fire safety law. But, says Alan Cox, fire safety consultant, this isn't the case, and fire certificates "were not worth the paper they were written on".
Cox said that occupiers still don't understand their responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO), which came into force in October 2006, and that as a result he is coming across some "worrying situations", indicating that the RRO isn't working in practice.
