(All Occasions Entertainment) Entertainment is dedicated to ensuring:

The health, safety, and welfare of all our staff and others who work under our control.

The safety of the public who use or have access to premises under our control or attend our events.

That the way in which we develop our undertaking contributes to the well-being of the community at large.

To meet these aims we shall:

Ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, those who undertake work on our behalf apply the highest standards of health and safety for their employees and the community in general.

Co-operate actively with local authorities, statutory bodies, and public services in the interest of public safety and the safeguarding of the environment.

Give a high priority to health and safety in all our operations.

Where necessary supplement our in-house resources with external resources.

We require the full and active participation of all our employees in order that the principles outlined in this policy statement may be achieved.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)

Although not yet a legal requirement all our portable electrical equipment is tested on an annual basis to ensure it is safe to use. Cables, interface connectors and appliances are inspected for visable defects and each appliance is tested using a portable appliance tester to ensure it passes the required safety tests. Once each piece of equipment has passed these rigourous tests it will have a test certification sticker affixed to the item clearly displaying the next due date.

Public Liability Insurance (PLI)

What is public liability? Public liability is also known as third party or personal liability. This cover protects you against injury incurred because of All Occasions Entertainment - so, for example, if a speaker or light falling and injuring a guest - that person could claim against All Occasions Entertainment for compensation. With the introduction of the Public Entertainment Licence Act (PELA), more venues are insisting on public liability cover - local authority venues often require DJs to have adequate liability cover. All Occasions Entertainment has a valid Public Liability Insurance certificate that will be produced upon request. Not all DJs have this.Even if you choose not to use All Occasions Entertainment check that your DJ has the necessary insurance.

The statutory duties placed on All Occasions Entertainment, all their employees, and providers of services, are to be regarded as minimum standards.We aim to achieve best practice in terms of health and safety in all that we do.
