Health Safety Tips for Experiential Events
Looking towards the future, implementing health and safety protocols to keep your events safer and cleaner will be vital. There are various ways to ensure the cleanliness of your events and mobile tour vehicle, as well as the safety and peace of mind of attendees. Here are some health safety tips for your future events to keep visitors as safe as we can.
Communicate, Communicate, Communicate: You will need to communicate internally with employees, ambassadors, and event staff to ensure they know, understand, and are adhering to health safety protocols. Create clear and concise practices and documentation for employees to review and best practices on how to implement these protocols into event procedures.
Signage is Key: On-site signage is an easy and effective approach to maintaining the safety of a tour stop. Include a sign at the entrance and exit promoting use of the hand sanitizer stations (which should be included at both locations, as well as throughout the vehicle), remind visitors to wash hands regularly, and to cover their mouths with their elbow or tissues when coughing and sneezing. Other signage to include would be CDC tips, social distancing rules and protocols, and warnings that state if an attendee is sick, they should not attend. Signage not only reminds visitors of proper practices; it also can help ease fear and showcase that you are on top of your sanitation standards.
Social Distancing Policy: Your mobile tour vehicle may hold larger crowds, however one way to ensure the health safety of the community is to enforce social distancing. This can be done by altering your type of attendee interactions to be more one-on-one engagements or having ambassadors enforcing large distances between those waiting in line.
Double Up on the Cleaning: Routine cleaning is an essential part of the setup and tear-down process for all mobile tour stops, however during this time, ramping up the cleaning regiment and taking extra precautions is crucial. Clean common areas and pay special attention to any high-traffic spaces and touch-points, these can include doorknobs, railings, glass, counter tops, interactive displays etc. Providing more hand sanitizer stations, disposable wipes and cleaning products is also a key measure to ensure your vehicle is safe and clean.
