CASE STUDY – “BIG DAY OUT”

Read the Case Study and answer the following question.

The annual Big Day Out festival has been scheduled for a hot summer’s day. The weather report states that there is a chance of a storm in the afternoon. The event venue is Sydney Olympic Park, in and around the park and wetlands area.

There are several top billing acts that require the use of many visual effects such as pyrotechnics, lasers and strobe lighting. The promise of such a successful day has ensured a total sell out, so large crowds are expected.

The festival runs all day and long into the night and all staff are required on site for this period of time.

Question: You are the producer of the Big Day Out. List the potential hazards associated with this event and outline how you would control them for the following: 
  • Stage crew
  • Security personnel
  • Sound technicians
  • Performers
  • Lighting technicians
  • Patrons
               Use The Big Day Out Case Study Template to organise your answers.

This task must be completed to gain competency. Both tasks need to be completed as homework and will be revised in class to improve your responses.
