Keeping the Steam Rally Safe: A Look Behind the Scenes with MBO Safety Services

At MBO Safety Services, we pride ourselves on being more than just a consultancy — we are a trusted partner in ensuring that public events run safely, smoothly, and in full compliance with health and safety regulations. This past weekend, we had the pleasure of supporting the much-loved Steam Rally show, a highlight of the local calendar that draws enthusiasts, families, and exhibitors from across the region. 

A Collaborative Effort for a Seamless Experience 

From the moment the gates opened to the final whistle of the last steam engine, our team was on-site working closely with event organisers to ensure that every aspect of the rally met the highest standards of safety. Our role encompassed everything from pre-event risk assessments and site inspections to real-time monitoring and support throughout the show. 

We understand that events like the Steam Rally are not just about entertainment — they are about community, heritage, and shared experiences. That is why we approached our involvement with the same level of care and professionalism that we bring to every project. 

What We Delivered 

Here are just a few of the ways we contributed to the success of the Steam Rally: 

  • Comprehensive Risk Assessments: Identifying potential hazards and implementing practical solutions to mitigate them. 
  • On-Site Safety Coordination: Liaising with marshals, exhibitors, and emergency services to ensure clear communication and swift response times. 
  • Public Safety Oversight: Monitoring crowd movement, access points, and emergency routes to maintain a safe environment for all attendees. 
  • Support for Exhibitors: Advising stallholders and vehicle operators on best practices for safe setup and operation. 

A Smooth and Safe Event 

Thanks to the collaborative spirit of the organisers and the dedication of our team, the Steam Rally ran without incident. Visitors were able to enjoy the sights, sounds, and nostalgia of the steam-powered displays with peace of mind, knowing that safety was being managed professionally behind the scenes. 

We are proud to have played a part in making this event a success and look forward to supporting future rallies and community gatherings. At MBO Safety Services, we believe that safety should never be an afterthought — it should be seamlessly woven into the fabric of every event.
