health & safety

The safety of our employees and clients is of great importance within the knights events team.

Our Health and Safety Accreditation

Every knight is provided with the necessary PPE and is aware of how and when to use this equipment.

Our Health and Safety Accreditation

All of our MEWP operators are certified with IPAF.

Our Health and Safety Accreditation

All of our ground plant operators are fully skilled and ‘time served’ with the relevant certification and licences.

Our Health and Safety Accreditation

Our security individuals are 'time served' and bring a wealth of experience in various security roles. All are at a minimum SIA qualified.

Training

All knights will have completed our induction training.

This is the necessary training required to perform every task at your event safely.

Topics covered include:

General Induction

Our general induction details the ins and outs of the live events industry. This is the beginning of a great journey in a fantastic industry and the better we prepare our crew, the better-equipped they will be: ready to perform whenever they step on-site.

PPE Awareness

All crew are provided with the relevant PPE required by law. They are shown how to use all PPE when required to keep themselves safe and to protect those around them.

Manual Handling

Not only do all crew receive a verbal tutorial on manual handling, but also a physical demonstration. This prepares crew members for the safe practices involved in manual handling.

Safe Working at Heights

Working at heights can obviously be very dangerous and we have specially- trained and fully qualified riggers and mobile scaffold crew. We see that every individual crew member has been trained in basic height safety.
