Question 1

An event manager should transfer risk by doing which of the following?

What is the recommended crowd density threshold (people per square meter) for safe standing areas at events, per industry guidelines?

Industry safety guidelines generally recommend no more than approximately 1.5 persons per square meter in standing areas to prevent dangerous crowd compression.

Question 4

Which risk mitigation strategy involves reducing the probability or impact of a risk through proactive measures?

Risk reduction

Answer

Risk reduction (also called risk mitigation) involves taking steps — such as additional training or redundant systems — to lower either the likelihood or the severity of a risk.

Question 5

A wet outdoor festival risks electrical hazards from rain. Which mitigation approach is most appropriate?
