General Safety Principles

Event activities should:
- Prioritize physical safety of all participants
- Avoid hazardous props or costumes
- Respect venue capacity and layout
- Remain adaptable to changing conditions

Safety takes precedence over performance continuity.

--------------------------------------------------

Costumes and Props

Costumes and props should:
- Allow clear visibility and movement
- Avoid sharp, heavy, or dangerous materials
- Not resemble weapons or emergency equipment
- Be appropriate for the setting and audience

--------------------------------------------------

Crowd Interaction

Performers should:
- Avoid physical contact unless clearly invited
- Respect personal space
- Disengage if crowd density increases

Children should only be engaged with consent from guardians.

--------------------------------------------------

Environmental Awareness

Consider:
- Weather conditions
- Noise levels
- Accessibility needs
- Emergency exits

Events should be paused or modified if conditions become unsafe.

--------------------------------------------------

Risk Acknowledgment

Participation in events carries inherent risk.

Organizers and performers acknowledge:
- Responsibility for reasonable precautions
- The importance of situational awareness

Charity Helpers Foundation does not guarantee safety beyond the scope of this guidance.
