Event Risk Assessment
You do NOT need to complete an Event Risk Assessment if the event meets all of the following criteria:
- The event is on campus
- Attendees are DU faculty, staff, and students
- You are using Sodexho, HRTM, or Phipps for catering
- There are no third party vendors involved in your event
- There is no planned organized physical activity
Risk Management advises organizations of the potential or perceived risks associated with their events/activities. When planning an event consider the risks associated with your event and how to best mitigate those risks. This will help Risk Management determine the risk exposure associated with your event.
Remember it is Risk Management’s responsibility to protect the human and physical assets of the University. Some events/activities may not be approved as they may have the potential for adverse effects that cannot be mitigated through loss control efforts.
Contact the Loss Control Manager for a risk assessment regarding your event.
Working with Vendors/Third Parties
Whenever you are working with a third party for services (rentals, catering, hotel, transportation) always request a certificate of insurance using the COI Request from 3rd party form.
Contracts
If your event creates obligations, i.e. commitments to pay or perform, to or from the University, you must follow the University's contract review process
The contract review process is managed by the Office of University Counsel and information regarding complying with the contract review process can be found at their website.
