Safety questions that show where attendees felt uneasy
Ask attendees how safe they felt, how the entrance checks went and whether they knew who to tell when something went wrong. Each question below comes with when to ask it and what the answer tells you.
What event safety survey questions tell you
Event safety survey questions ask attendees how safe they felt at the venue, how the security check went, whether they knew the exits and the code of conduct, and whether they would know who to tell if something went wrong. Small worries rarely get reported on the day, and these answers bring the crowded corner and the dark walkway to your safety team before the next event.
Ask in the survey after the event, the evening it ends or the next morning, by email or with a link. Pick four to six: the safety score, the exits, who to tell, the safety grid and the open question about what made attendees uneasy. Keep the contact and permission questions together, for attendees who want to report something in more detail.
Each written answer is given a theme, a sentiment and an urgency as it arrives, so a report of harassment stands out from a comment about the bag check. Give every urgent response an owner in the inbox, and post it to Slack or Microsoft Teams for your safety lead.
