INSURANCE AND HOLD HARMLESS

Insurance is required for all events hosted on municipal property.

A Certificate of Insurance must be returned with The Application.

To satisfy this requirement, the Event Organizer has two options:

Obtain and provide proof of coverage, by way of a Certificate of Insurance, of general liability and property damage insurance in the amount of $2 million per incident, naming the Corporation of the Municipality of Chatham-Kent as additional insured for the special event.

OR

Obtain and provide proof of coverage by way of a Certificate of Insurance from All Sport Insurance Marketing Limited.

* Note: All Sport Insurance Marketing Limited is a user group program that may provide insurance for a special event where no insurance coverage is presently in effect or where the Event Organizer is unable to obtain coverage elsewhere. Details of the types of events that are covered and related costs can be obtained through the Special Event Co-ordinator.

All external Event Organizers must complete and sign the Hold Harmless Agreement which is found on page 2 of The Application. Municipally organized events being organized by internal staff and / or Committees of Council are not required to complete the Hold Harmless Agreement. However, if an internal municipal group is collaborating with an external organization to organize the event, the external organization must complete the Hold Harmless Agreement.

If the Special Occasion Permit (SOP) holder is different from the Event Organizer, a separate Certificate of Insurance is required from the SOP holder.

POLICE & SECURITY REQUIREMENTS Through its District Sgts. Chatham-Kent Police Service (CKPS), works with Event Organizers to make certain appropriate police resources are dedicated to the event: To ensure the safety of all event participants, the CKPS and / or the Special Events Co-ordinator will assist in the creation of a Security Plan, if required. Security is required for events that include: road closures orderly movement of the public crowd control when alcohol is served risk of theft or damage overnight at the site.

Post event, any problems encountered will be recorded in a Police Incident Report. Annual events that have experienced security issues in the past may be subject to additional oversight / conditions.

PAID DUTY OFFICERS Once the Security Plan has been developed and it has been determined that Paid Duty Officers will be required for the event, the organizer must make application by submitting a completed Contracted Overtime Agreement available from the CKPS Paid Duty Administrator: Phone 519-682-2614 Fax: 519-682-0392. If the Paid Duty Administrator is unavailable due to holidays or other special assignments, please contact the Special Event Co-ordinator.

It can often take up to 6 weeks to fill Paid Duty requests. Requests for hiring of Paid Duty Officers must be made well in advance of the event in order to secure officers for the dates needed. If your event is required to hire four or more Paid Duty officers working the same event at the same time: a deposit of 75 percent of the total invoice will be required prior to event

approval,

a deposit may be required for first time events

a deposit may also be required for recurring events that have had

security issues in the past.

November 2013

SECURITY PERSONNEL Event Organizers may be required to use paid-duty police officers and/or a professional security company, or any combination of the two. Under current provincial legislation, anyone acting in a manner providing security at an event must be licensed as a security guard through the province of Ontario. If the Event Organizer has any questions regarding volunteer security versus paid security, contact the Special Events Co-ordinator. If a professional security company is being used:

a current Certificate of Insurance from that company is to be provided, naming the Corporation of the Municipality of Chatham-Kent as additional insured

must be licensed

must have references available

must provide a written contract for their services prior to the event

must provide a written report following the event. Remember, Security Companies work for Event Organizers and communication in advance of an event is critical. The Special Events Co-ordinator and CKPS encourage Event Organizers to meet with their contracted Security Company in advance of their event, to establish expected roles & responsibilities and then following the event to de-brief. An Event Organizer can be held liable for failing to use reasonable care in the coordination or the supervision of an event. VOLUNTEERS If the event targets vulnerable persons, the Event Organizer may be required to have all volunteers submit a volunteer police record check to the approving District Sergeant. This check is normally completed within 7 days: If there is a questionable entry with police, the process could take up to a month to complete. Consider some manner of ensuring your volunteers stand out from the crowd.

ACCIDENT PREVENTION, FIRE & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

On-site communication is critical to the successful management of an event. Event staff and volunteers must know who is in charge in case an emergency decision is required. The person in charge – or their designate - should be available at all times either through a communication device, or by ensuring that he/she can be located at the event control centre. If the event is high-risk, the availability of on-site medical services may be required. For assistance in locating a professional provider, please contact the Special Event Co-ordinator. Be proactive! Have a preliminary Emergency Plan drafted. Consider:

o Location and use of fencing o Capacity (a number determined by local Fire Department) o Entrance and exit points o Number and location of washrooms and hand washing stations o Location for (potential) security search of attendees o Other defined areas:

sale of alcohol first aid station

event management station lost children location

etc. o Emergency phone numbers are readily accessible & / or posted in a

common area along with the 911 address of the event venue

o Weather is monitored (local radio, smart phone applications, etc...) o An Emergency Action Plan (i.e. how would you notify attendees /

participants of pending severe weather?) o 18 ft. clearance lane will be maintained at all times to allow emergency

vehicles ease of access.

CKPS and CKFD may determine that a Safety Plan is required. See the appendix: Safety Plan Template.

P A R K S O P ER A T I N G G U I D ELI N ES The following guidelines balance general use of the park areas with special events, while ensuring longer term sustainability of the green spaces in the community. Event venues should be considered on an individual basis, depending on the specific needs of each event. The Parks Department may deem it necessary to provide on-site supervision of the park facility. The cost for this supervision, whether provided by Municipal staff or other professionals, will be charged to the Event Organizer. To encourage good neighbour relations:

Between Victoria Day and Labour Day, the number of large special events

with amplified sound will be limited to 8 events per year, in any given location.

To maintain green space:

Based on the ground conditions, all vehicles should remain on hard surfaces and only non-vehicular booths or tents set up on grassed areas

If an event requires vehicles to be set-up on grassed areas, a damage deposit of $1500 will be held to ensure turf recovery after the event.

Once event is set up, remove all vehicles from the event area

There will be a time lag of 10 days between large events for turf recovery

Ensure that the event has a waste management plan that encourages recycling

At the discretion of the park supervisor, a security deposit may be required. The rate of the deposit is related to the past history of the event, and is paid in full prior to submitting a special events application:

o A new event, or a previously held event with no major issues or bylaw violations in the past 3 events held - $ 1000

o Violation or non-compliance in the previous event - $ 1500 o Violation or non-compliance in both the previous two events -

$5000

To be respectful to the community: Ensure the park is returned to the condition in which it was found within 12 hours

after completion of the event. If the Event Organizer fails to restore the area, a cost recovery clean up fee will be charged to them.

o Provide the Special Events Co-ordinator proof of the underground locates 10 days prior to the event to prevent cancellation of the event.

Please respect the Park by-laws and these Parks Operating Guidelines, or restricted use may result in future years.

Common Safety Concerns associated with propane include: 1. Equipment has not been maintained by a qualified and ticketed Registered Contractor. 2. Cylinders do not have clearly marked test dates less than 10 years from current date. 3. Inadequate clearances from appliances to combustibles. 4. Improperly supported and protected regulators, hose and piping. 5. Unsecured cylinders (to be chained in upright position). 6. Maximum hose length of 10 feet is often exceeded. 7. Unused piping and valve openings are not capped. 8. Certified hose and hose assemblies are often not used. 9. The use of rubber and/or vinyl hose inside enclosures/trailers, etc. Piping or tubing must be used. Fuel Containers for Gasoline and/or Diesel Powered Generators Fuel containers shall have to be built in conformance with one of the following Standards or Regulations: 1. The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (Canada) 2. CSA-8736, "Portable Containers for Gasoline and Other Petroleum Fuels" 3. ULC/ORD-C30, "Safety Containers".

Appendix: Parades / Walks / Runs / Relays (PWRR)

POLICIES AND GUIDELINES The purpose of this Policy and Guidelines is to promote safety for PWRR participants and audience during the PWRR and assist PWRR organizers in developing safe and organized PWRRs. PWRR Management Plan The PWRR application form will comprise part of the PWRR Management Plan and will include the following information:

o The date the PWRR is to be conducted and the time the PWRR is to begin and approximately end.

o Staging area and staging start time. o The complete route to be traveled including direction of travel. This

information may be clearly presented on a map or listed in detail. o Where PWRR will be terminating or dispersing. o Approximate number and location of barricades required. o Number of people participating in the PWRR. o The types of and number of vehicles or floats participating in the PWRR. o Any other relevant information.

PWRRs taking place on a municipal road during peak traffic hours should be avoided. These hours are 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM from Monday to Friday (statutory holidays excluded). A PWRR may not take place between the hours of 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM. The railway authorities must be contacted by the PWRR applicant if the PWRR route crosses any at-grade railway crossing. Train traffic times should be obtained and listed in the PWRR Management Plan. PWRRs should be scheduled around these train traffic times if possible. Parade routes shall be designed to ensure that any Parade does not double back on its route or reverse its direction. The Parade route shall not intersect itself without sufficient roadway distance to clear the length of all participants, vehicles, floats, etc. in the Parade formation. Adequate provision for transit service should be taken into account when developing a PWRR route. A municipal roadway that is a public transit service route shall not be closed for a PWRR unless there exists an acceptable parallel route that can be used as an alternate public transit service route. Engineering and Transportation Division staff shall review, modify and approve the PWRR Management Plan in consultation with the Chatham-Kent Police Service. Any changes required shall be discussed with the PWRR applicant.

November 2013

Traffic Control Procedures All events that take place on municipal roadways shall be escorted by the Chatham-Kent Police Service. Upon review of the event by internal staff, if there are additional costs associated with resourcing the event, these costs will be passed along to Event Organizers. Access must be maintained for emergency vehicles at all times within the staging area and along the PWRR route. All barricades required for the PWRR shall be supplied by the Municipality of Chatham-Kent. Temporary regulatory signs, alterations to existing warning and regulatory signs and changes to traffic control signal displays or timing phases may be required to facilitate the PWRR. If required, these services shall be performed by municipal staff. All signing will conform to the Ontario Traffic Manual. If special detour signing or an extraordinary amount of signing is required, the Municipality will supply and erect such signing and the cost of such work may be charged to the PWRR applicant. The cost of repairing or replacing damaged or missing barriers may also be charged to the PWRR applicant. All roadways that intersect with an approved PWRR route shall be barricaded unless your event approval letter states otherwise. It is the responsibility of the PWRR applicant to ensure that each barricaded street is staffed by a courteous and trained volunteer to assist emergency vehicles through the barricades. Trained volunteers shall also be positioned where barricades are supported by “Road Closed” signs to assist any person having legitimate business between such barricades and the approved PWRR route, unless the Municipality or Chatham-Kent Police Service indicate otherwise. All vehicles and floats forming a Parade must comply with the maximum height restrictions (4.15 m) prescribed in the Highway Traffic Act. Any vehicle and/or float which exceed the maximum width restrictions of 2.6 m prescribed in the Highway Traffic Act must be identified separately on the PWRR application.

The PWRR applicant will provide for the services of a sufficient number of monitors/trained volunteers to control the orderly flow and conduct of the PWRR. No motor vehicle operator shall drive a vehicle between the vehicles, floats, persons or animals comprising a PWRR while the PWRR is in motion except when otherwise directed by a Police Officer or Parade monitor/volunteer. It is the PWRR applicant’s responsibility to ensure that each volunteer understands that traffic, except emergency vehicles, is not permitted to cross a PWRR route unless under police authority or the PWRR has passed. The Parade will continue to move from the point of origin to the point of termination expeditiously at a fixed rate of speed and without stopping unless required for the safe and orderly conduct of the Parade and its participants. The Parade and all participants shall not depart or deviate from the route set forth in the Parade Permit. All Parade participants shall follow in line as close as is practical and safe. The PWRR applicant shall provide medical and first-aid services at strategic locations along the PWRR route and assembly point, if required. Conduct After PWRR The PWRR applicant shall be responsible for the removal of barricades used for road closures during the PWRR.
