You can gauge the approximate risk level of your planned event yourself by utilising the guide scores contained within the HSE Event Safety Guide. This may give you an inclination as to whether or not your event will require the assistance of the Safety Advisory Group (SAG).
If you are confident that your event will not require SAG intervention, then continue to the Special Events Process page. If you are unsure or if you would like to learn more about Special Events, Events Management and the Safety Advisory Group, then please continue to the Safety Advisory Group page.
