What health and safety aspect should be ensured for venues?

Ensuring proper lighting of obstacles is a critical health and safety aspect for venues. This is important because adequate lighting helps prevent accidents and injuries that can occur when individuals cannot see potential hazards, such as stairs, ramps, or any other obstacles. Good lighting enhances visibility, making it easier for people to navigate the space safely, especially in darkened environments common during performances or events.

While sufficient staffing levels are important for managing emergencies and maintaining order, and quality of sound equipment contributes to the overall experience of the event, they do not directly address immediate physical safety in the way that proper lighting does. Access to artistic feedback, while valuable for creative processes, is not related to the health and safety considerations necessary for a safe environment in a venue setting.
