Safety Compliance Services has announced the launch of safety and crowd monitoring services for the events industry. Serial entrepreneur, Teresa Beardsley, set up Safety Compliance Services in 2020 to cater to the need for safe implementation of Covid protocols and for bringing people back to work in the entertainment industry. Relying mainly on a core team drawn from production and medical professionals, she worked closely with doctors and nurses to conduct Covid tests and then pivoted to manage safety for work sites and live events. SCS also offers employment screening services like drug testing and background checks.
The core team at SCS comprises fire marshals, meteorologists (as weather can be a key factor affecting live events), transportation experts, structural experts and OSHA experts. They work collaboratively with law enforcement officials and crowd safety experts to ensure that all people attending live events are safe. The firm adheres strictly to the OSHA, FEMA, and other safety standards, and all of its professionals are fully trained and certified.
Said Teresa Beardsley, Founder and CEO at Safety Compliance Services LLC “Many construction and events companies outsource separate companies or hire team members internally which leads to bias. We are one of the rare companies which provide a comprehensive service as a one stop solution to cover all event and worksite related needs. We take safety very seriously to the point where it not only meets but exceeds even the strictest safety regulations. We use very specific and innovative technology to support our technical experts and the outcome is a boutique and hassle-free experience for our clients.”
SCS works primarily in the entertainment industry and while the safety aspect is crucial, it is very experience oriented as well. Events can range from concerts, award shows and festivals, to even big name sporting events. According to Teresa, Safety Compliance Services (SCS) has the technological expertise to make live events more colorful. The team’s experts can create augmented reality (AR) experience which includes safety components to integrate safety into the event experience.
In the runup to a show, the firm conducts an extensive risk assessment and considers every possible thing that could go wrong. The firm uses sophisticated software developed by a former law enforcement official for command, control, communications and intelligence integration at events. Technology like ibeacons and geofences is also used to further enhance safety and help evacuate attendees to the nearest exit in the event of an emergency. Wayfinding technology can help locate people in the event that they are stuck in a venue due to a natural disaster like an earthquake. All of these technological features are cloud-based and can be used in a seamless and efficient manner as all the attendees will have tags and can be located using Wifi connections.
In addition to safety at events, SCS offers safety services at very large construction sites, as well as any kind of venue where a large number of people gather for a short while.
The company is also diversifying into logistics consultation. This is where the company connects customers to remote-working experts from around the world who help them plan or strategize for events and worksites. Clients can also opt to engage the SCS team directly to work on their venue or event by putting together a team to implement the strategy that they have devised.
Concluded Teresa Beardsley, “We have a diverse team of talented people who are highly experienced in all aspects of pre-production, production, and venue management. We have backup plans for our backup plans. We work closely with public safety officials, local hospitals and police forces. With crowds, there is so much that can go wrong. We monitor and track every single incident. We leverage all of these expertise to ensure that our clients’ events are managed seamlessly and end up as a fun experience for those who visit the venue. Our end goal is to ensure that everyone has a great time. We have worked with a lot of VIPs and can proudly claim to be Hollywood's favorite woman-owned safety company.”
