In the run-up to the Festival a huge amount of time is spent checking the competence of contractors, reviewing their paperwork and verifying appropriate insurance is in place. We provide staff on site to oversee construction and ensure structures and other installations are properly completed.

During the week of the actual Festival we provide a 24-hour monitoring and advisory service to the Organisers and report directly to the Festival Silver Command on a regular basis. We oversee the operation of some 70 safety stewards and a team of qualified inspectors, and liaise closely with production crews, site management and crowd safety teams.

Daily meetings are held with health and safety representatives from the local authority, and a common approach to risk management.

The Event Safety Shop Ltd bring a mix of broad event experience and detailed knowledge of the Glastonbury site and its operation. Through mud, storm and heatwave we have been on hand to assist and advise the greatest show on earth; according to the enforcing authority we have consistently set “benchmark standards” for large-scale festival safety management.

The Organisers were advised on a range of issues from communication strategy through to fence layout and police liaison. The festival was a massive success and goes from strength to strength.

The Event Safety Shop were the preferred supplier of health and safety consultancy services to the Royal Navy throughout the year; which saw the successful production of massive public events on land, sea & air; consistent public profile; Royal patronage and international participation.

At every stage of production and planning, the Royal Navy have been able to draw on our experience, insight and pragmatism. Whether the event is a wreath-laying, a Royal reception or Britain’s biggest free show on the shores of the Solent; we were in the background taking care of business so others may shine.
