Critical Issues for Event Safety

IN THIS CHAPTER, WE WILL EXPLORE:

Food safety

Parking lot safety
Electrical storms and lightning
Electrical and gas safety
It is difficult to make a theoretical distinction between issues of safety and issues of security. In both cases, there is risk; in both cases, an incident causes similar outcomes. Figure 6.1 shows the similarities in dealing with both safety and security risks.
This chapter explores a number of topics that may not be as “exciting” as other security topics, but they are equally as important. In fact, while there is a minimal probability that most event participants may be confronted with an act of terrorism, almost every event attendee will have to deal with issues such as pedestrian safety and the quality of the water that he or she consumes.
Pedestrian Safety
Pedestrian safety is a major problem and requires careful attention. we discussed some of the theoretical reasons that people who are away from home are often less cautious. When it comes to pedestrian safety issues. For example, people at events may:
Be in a party or jovial mood and thus are distracted while walking
Walk in groups and tend to talk while walking
Consume alcohol and thus their faculties may be impaired
Need special help while crossing the street or dealing with internal pathways
Stay in multiple hotels, may suffer from issues of anomie, and may not be familiar with local signage, pedestrian laws, and driver responsibilities or lack of responsibilities
In addition, a greater number of children attend conventions and meetings with their parents, and some parents may pay less attention to their children’s needs than is desirable.
People at fairs, meetings, conventions, and sports events often exhibit the same sociological patterns as children. All too often, delegates/attendees take unfortunate risks when crossing streets or walking along the side of streets or on paths.
The American Automobile Association (AAA) Web site notes that: “More than half of all pedestrian deaths and injuries occur when people cross or enter streets while one-third occur between intersections. Both driver and pedestrian errors contribute to these accidents” (http://www.csaa.com/about/education/pedestrian.asp rights).
Furthermore, pedestrians very much live according to the old Spanish proverb,
“if the rock hits the pitcher or the pitcher hits the rock, it is still too bad for the pitcher.”
To help save lives, use these simple but effective techniques:
When possible, have people walk on the sidewalks. In rural areas where there are no sidewalks, risk managers may want to create walking paths along the side of the road. Make sure that pedestrians walk facing traffic, so they can see on-coming ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
