About us
Event safety people, not safety paperwork people.
AFL Associates was built by consultants who have stood on the gate, run the control room and answered the licensing committee. That is why the plans we write read like they were written by someone who intends to be there.
What we bring to a production
We are brought in for three reasons: an event needs a safety plan for a licence, a venue has asked for someone to run the risk assessment, or a production team wants an extra pair of hands on the ground. Usually it turns into all three.
The team works across conferences, corporate events and one-off builds, and keeps a standing roster of freelance safety operatives for weeks when the workload spikes. Nothing gets handed to a junior once work begins — the person who assessed your site is the person on it.
Training sits alongside the consultancy because the two depend on each other: a plan nobody has been briefed on is a plan nobody follows.

How the team works.
Say the awkward thing early
If a design will not hold up on the day, you hear it in the first meeting, not in a report at the end of the build.
Write it so it gets used
Plans are written for the person on the gate at 19:40, not for the person filing them.
Leave the team better
Every job ends with a debrief, an updated risk register and a crew that knows why the controls exist.
