Mass events organized in Poland in recent years, including sports, entertainment, as well as cultural and social (religious) gatherings, have been consistently gaining popularity, as reflected in the large number of participants. This is undoubtedly due to the attractiveness of the events on one hand and the positive assessment of the safety level during these events on the other. Yet it is crucial to recognize that beyond their positive aspects, mass events frequently present specific challenges and threats. Unpredictable and irrational behaviour among participants can result from a variety of factors, posing risks to their health and lives as well as that of bystanders and property. Effective managing of these situations is a genuine challenge for governmental authorities, services and responsible entities. This challenge stems from comprehensive preparatory and organizational measures designed to prevent crisis situations and, if they occur, promptly regain control. This study aims to present a model of organizational-procedural solutions and explore the application of modern information technologies to enhance participant safety during mass events. The research methodology involved a comprehensive analysis of scientific, industry, and legal materials. Additionally, valuable insights were drawn from the author’s first-hand experience gained through direct observations while fulfilling official duties in ensuring the safety of mass events during real incidents in Poland.
