Do we need Intermediate or Advanced Life Support ambulance for a music event?
Depending on the music event size and the legal requirements, our music events manager helps you select the correct ambulance level of care tailored to the risk level of your concert or festival, to ensure compliance with the Safety at Sports and Recreational Events Act
For low risk music events like music competitions, pop-up concert, an Intermediate Life support Ambulance with ILS paramedics can provide onsite medical services. For high risk large music events, such as music festival, music concert we provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) paramedics, fully equipped Advanced Life Support ambulances and medical stations for on-site medical care. Remember, not having an on-site event standby medical solution invalidates your public liability insurance leaving you legally and financially liable for medical claims from attendants. The choice between Advanced Life Support ambulance and intermediate should be properly considered vis-a-vis the number of expected music lovers attending the music show
