The most important part of planning an event is undoubtedly safety; you can plan the most amazing event but if things are unsafe then you are looking at ruining all of that excellent work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t have a large role in the planning of our live event as I was absent for a portion of the project but I did have a few important tasks to do: I researched minimum aisle sizes and minimum distance from speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For minimum aisle size, I wasn\u2019t able to find any legal requirements on aisle size, only strong recommendations. For our event where we may have upwards of 160 people in attendance, the source I found recommended a minimum width of 1050mm. This source is ABTT\u2019s Technical Standards for Places of Entertainment (also known as \u201cthe Yellow Book\u201d) [1]<\/a>. Although it isn\u2019t legally binding, many local authorities have chosen to abide by the standards set out within the document, unfortunately I could not find if Bradford Council operates within the bounds of the Yellow Book. However, we should still be following this guideline in the interest of safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the minimum distance from the speakers, we have a similar scenario where we find ourselves with no specific legislation to follow. However, we do have strong recommendations from the government\u2019s HSE branch in their noise limits guidance [2]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally we would have our audience members at least 3m away from any loudspeaker but, as this is such a small venue, we are to follow the alternative guidelines. Those guidelines being a minimum distance of 1m, which should be very easily applied. We can also ensure that the noise levels do not breach 107dB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
