The role of the Rugby Borough Council Safety Advisory Group (SAG) is to promote good standards of safety at all public events in the borough.
 
The objectives of the group are to:
  • promote high levels of safety and welfare at events by giving advice
  • promote good practice in safety and welfare planning for events
  • ensure events cause minimal adverse impact

Core members of the group include officers from the borough council's environmental health and licensing teams, along with emergency planning officers. The West Midland Ambulance Association, Warwickshire Police, the Hospital of St Cross, Warwickshire county highways and Warwickshire Fire and Rescue are also represented.
