Emergency Procedures and Interactive Installations: Briefing Staff Properly

Plan for the Unlikely

Emergencies are rare, but they are the moment when preparation matters most. Staff should know exactly what to do with the installation, and how to help visitors leave.

What Staff Should Know

Combine the venue's procedures with specific instructions for the installation. We provide these in our installation handovers.

  • Alarm response — stop the installation and guide visitors out
  • Emergency stop — where it is and how to use it
  • Exit routes — keep them clear of equipment and queues
  • Assembly points — where to meet and who counts
  • Contact numbers — venue control and technical support

Practise

Run a simple drill before opening. Walk through shutdown, evacuation and what to do after the alarm ends.

Follow Venue and Legal Requirements

Venues must have emergency plans, and your installation should fit them. This is general information, not safety advice, so consult your venue and a qualified adviser. Agencies planning events can talk to us via our partnership programme.
