NRAG Endorses Stop the Drop Campaign

The National Rigging Advisory Group (NRAG) has announced its endorsement of the cross-association campaign Stop the Drop to raise awareness of the risks involved when working at height, and promote safe practice.

Mark Surtees, Managing Director of Outback Rigging and chair of NRAG, explained the group’s decision to support the initiative: “Our members, representing almost every sector of the British events industry, are keenly aware of the risks when working at height and wholeheartedly support the aims of the Stop the Drop campaign. We recognise that a greater understanding of the issues surrounding working at height, amongst all stakeholders within the fast-paced events industry, will help to strengthen and deepen the safety culture already in evidence and improve safety through direct behaviour change and raised awareness.”

Launched in 2016 by the Association of Event Venues (AEV), the Association of Event Organisers (AEO) and the Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA), the Stop the Drop campaign is aimed at all stakeholders involved in the events industry, including the many riggers that work on exhibitions and events.
