Attendance and certification on an Event Safety eLearning course are equivalent of an Event Safety face to face workshop.

The course aims to provide for both current and prospective event organisers and planners an overview of the safety requirements and issues that may arise in staging an orienteering event. It has a particular focus on risk management and the means of controlling risks at acceptable levels. We anticipate that those undertaking the course will have had previous experience in carrying out risk assessments.             

This interactive activity will support the learner to understand how to identify, access and control to an acceptable level the risks involved with an event.
