Generic Safety Plan
The core safety framework used by visiting event organisers at Plas Heli.
The Generic Safety Plan provides the standard structure and expectations for all events held at Plas Heli. It ensures consistency, clarity, and alignment with statutory requirements, RYA guidance, and local authority expectations.
This landing page provides access to the Safety Plan Template, the Guidance Notes, and the Small Event Quick Safety Checklist, which together form the complete planning toolkit for visiting class associations and event organisers.
What This Plan Covers
The Generic Safety Plan sets out the core safety framework used across all events, including:
- Event structure and scope
- RYA‑aligned roles and responsibilities (Event Director, PRO, CSL, Bridge, Beach, Tally)
- Communication and briefing expectations
- Welfare and safeguarding arrangements
- Temporary structures and compound safety
- Severe weather procedures
- Incident and accident reporting
- Medical and emergency response pathways
- Landing points and What3Words locations
These elements form the baseline for all event‑specific safety plans.
How Organisers Use This Plan
Visiting organisers use the Generic Safety Plan as the foundation for their own Event Safety Plan. The process is simple:
- Review the Safety Plan Template.
- Use the Guidance Notes to understand what information is required.
- Use the Small Event Quick Safety Checklist for club‑scale or reduced‑team events.
- Complete all sections marked with [INSERT].
- Submit the completed Event Safety Plan to Plas Heli Operations before the event.
This ensures that Plas Heli Duty Managers, the Event Safety Officer (ESO), volunteers, and safety boat crews have the information they need to support the event safely.
