UK rules and standards for event tech

CDM, LOLER, BS 7909, Ofcom licences, GDPR and the SMPTE and EBU standards people quote at you, each explained in one line.

PDF, 1 page · 228 KB · Updated November 2026

Event technical teams answer to a stack of rules that nobody hands you in one place: health and safety law, codes of practice for temporary power, Ofcom for radio mics, data protection for filming people, and the technical standards suppliers quote in their specs. This sheet is the map, one line per item, with the current editions as of November 2026.

Who it's for

Freelance technical directors and production managers writing a RAMS or a supplier brief, agency producers who need to know what to ask for, and event teams checking that the people they hire are working to the right documents.

It's a map, not legal advice. For anything specific, ask the competent person named in the event safety plan.

You'll also get Standby, our occasional email for people who run technical events: new resources, kit notes and what we learnt on recent shows. Never more than once a month, and one click to leave. How we use your email.

Rather we did the paperwork?

Send the client brief and floorplan to Production Office and get back the kit list, signal flow, crew plan and schedule, checked by a broadcast engineer, with nothing of ours on it.

Bring us the show you can't afford to drop.

A date and an ambition is plenty. We'll engineer the rest, from "can we?" to "standby… go."
