Strategic Meeting Tech Podcast Show #10 - Event Safety - a brief look at the role of a Fire Marshal

Just this week there’s been some discussions in the news relating to room capacity at some political events.  We’re non-political here on the podcast, but it started us thinking about the role of a fire marshal and the greater subject of event safety in general.

When you’re planning an event a part of your responsibility is to make sure that the attendees are safe and comfortable during their time spent at the event.  This can touch on a few areas, but today we start with a brief overview of the role of Fire Marshals and their responsibility for helping to keep your attendees safe.
