About this publication

The publication adopts a risk management approach to safety at major events. It has been developed to complement the process described in the Australian Standard for Risk Management (AS/NZS 4360-2004), whilst also drawing on the Australian Standard: OHS Management Systems - Specification with Guidance for Use (AS 4801-2000).
