Event Safety Institute: teaching and advising you on crowd safety
The Event Safety Institute is inextricably linked with the safety, liveability and experience of events and other busy places. To guarantee safe conditions, knowledge is needed about how, why, where and when crowds behave in a certain way.

The Event Safety Institute helps those responsible for safety in crowded places with training and education, advice, planning and coordination on the implementation of crowd safety management.
