Prevention

Can You Prevent Bad Things From Happening? If you are going to invite the public into a small geographic area for an event, you run the risk that an accident is going to occur. However, if the event is well planned and managed, you can prevent or minimize injuries and disasters.

Prevention

The Secret is Planning. Risk management must be an ongoing process. Resources have to be allocated and a commitment has to be made to manage the uncertainties and vulnerabilities surrounding your event. Someone with professional experience should be employed to examine the proposed event and assist you and your team in preparing appropriate contingency plans, including prevention and response.

Prevention

You Can Minimize Risk. The best way is to examine every aspect of the risk that you can imagine and minimize the likelihood of accident or injury by providing protective gear, rules of conduct, dictating who can participate, dictating the level of event difficulty, and employing experts to advise on technical matters. The principals at Simmons & Associates have more than 50 years collective experience in and around major events.

Prevention

Money... Each year insurance providers nationwide pay out millions of dollars in claims for “accidents” at events. That will eventually translate into higher premiums for event producers.

Reputation... Your event’s reputation is valuable. Our goal is assuring that your participants enjoy their experience in the safest environment possible.

Anguish... The emotional impact of accidents, while impossible to measure economically, can cause irreparable damage in the long term.

Time... Dealing with the aftermath of an accident can be time consuming and result in a loss of valuable employee resources, which is disheartening considering that most accidents and the subsequent lawsuits can be prevented with advance planning.
