Threats will include drunken or otherwise inebriated fans, accidental fires (especially from electricity or smoking). Also, acts of God such as weather disasters must be factored in.
b. As noted in the scenario, the capacity of the stadium is 8000. Similar sized concert data were referenced in preparation for that given year in the United States. Deaths should considered to give an adequate barometer for preparation for a worst case scenario (Upton, 2004) .
In an international study that the team used in preparation for this project, 136 hundred and thirty-six victims died in 29 separate incidents that occurred in 20 different countries/territories: 32 died during entry to a concert, 29 died in front of (or by diving off) a stage during the performance, 13 died when people fell from balconies at arenas and stadiums, 9 died during their exit from a concert venue, 53 during egress from a concert venue directly into a railway station subway.
Also, a second level of analysis venue type was considered. Here it was found definitively that: 19 people died at temporarily constructed sites, 64 people died architecturally designed sites, 53 people died at a neighboring site (e.g., a railway station) (ibid).
This study would imply that we have a higher accident risk in a prepared structure than a temporary one. While the venue is an adequate size, it was not specifically designed for the purposes with which we will be making use of it for, so a quantitative study...
The only way to deal with the unknown is to have more insurance available and to direct as many resources to event security as possible (ibid).
Section IV - Cost Estimate
Based upon the financial data available, labor costs are $200 per person per week. The project has been allocated 4 regular workers and 2 extra workers where $300 per week to be charged for each of them, but they can not be used for anything else. This would amount to $14,000. An additional $1,000 has been allocated to the costs of the additional worker per week for the contingencies that they have to be linked up with another work on unforeseen tasks as they may arise. $2,000 has been allocated to deal with unforeseen issues that come up such as delays and other unforeseen events.
Total Labor Costs of Workers $14, 000
Costs for Additional Workers $20,000
Unforeseen Circumstances
$2,000
$36,000
