We returned to Cannes for a second year to work with some old and new faces on the beach.
Tony and Mark provided the on-site safety for the duration of the project, with Chris and Tony producing the event documentation and plans for the project.
The weather and in particular the strong winds and occasional thunderstorms tested our plans but enabled the project to operate safely, and there were only a few occasions where Tony and Mark had to pause the load in due to adverse weather.

We worked closely from the beginning of the project with Andy Peat and his team looking at how we manage the safety for a 24-hour load in and load out on a beach in the South of France. There were challenges, with crane operations being carried out from a highway and over onto the beach in order to supply the equipment to build the event.
The superb logistical and technical organisation from Andy and his team allowed this process to happen seamlessly each night, and during the day, in 35˚C temperatures, the crews worked hard to deliver the event.
Welfare was key to ensuring that all crew were well looked after and had access to everything they need for them to deliver their elements of the project, to specification, on time and safely.
Hopefully, we will be back in 2023!
One of the things we have had to do on several different events, during the pandemic, is to calculate how many people we can allow in a space and still have enough space to maintain social distancing of at least 2 metres.
On the face of it, it is quite simple, each person will need 1 metre around them, and if everyone has this 1 metre then that allows a separation of 2 metres, so in essence, each person will need 4m2.
4m2 is fine for a static audience, or even to allocate an occupancy internally in rooms office and welfare areas. But what if we have a dynamic audience that will want and should be able to move freely around an area?
Well, the Institute of Place Management (IPM) has produced some guidance on this and is very helpful for those planning events to give an idea of space required for a desired occupancy and vice versa. The guidance can be found here https://www.placemanagement.org/news/calculating-the-area-needed-for-social-distancing/
The guidance provides some useful insights into calculating the space you need for several different sectors such as retail and types of public urban spaces and is very useful for planning purposes.

We were part of a larger event management team involved in the build, event and break for this fantastic family festival set in the beautiful surroundings of Henham Park.
The build took approximately three weeks, and we managed the build and break safety with the team from Festival Republic on site, switching into an Event Safety role during the event.
There are challenges with this event, from the many trees on site that need to be checked and managed, the bugs which love people in hi-viz, the many structures that are built, working on and near water, and bridge building. Many different aspects to health and safety. A great event to be part of and plenty to learn from.
The event runs over three days and is attended by 35,000 people.
