Health and Safety Guidelines for Florida Leather Week Guests Florida Leather Week is committed to providing a welcoming, respectful, and safe experience for everyone. Please review these guidelines before attending events. Respect and Consent Consent must be clear, mutual, informed, and ongoing. Ask before touching anyone, including clothing, gear, equipment, mobility devices, or personal belongings. A person may change their mind or withdraw consent at any time. Silence, intoxication, or lack of resistance does not mean consent. Respect personal boundaries, identities, pronouns, and individual limits. Harassment, intimidation, discrimination, unwanted contact, and unsafe behavior will not be tolerated. Please report concerns to event staff, venue staff, security, or organizers as soon as possible. Photography and Privacy Ask permission before photographing or recording anyone. Do not photograph people in private or designated play areas without their explicit permission. Respect guests who do not wish to appear in photos or videos. Do not share another person’s image, name, identity, or participation without permission. Health and Personal Wellness Stay hydrated, especially during outdoor activities and walks. Take breaks when needed and be mindful of heat, humidity, and sun exposure. Wear comfortable clothing and footwear appropriate for each event. Bring any necessary medications, medical supplies, identification, and emergency contact information. Guests with allergies should ask about ingredients before consuming food or beverages. Please stay home if you have a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or other symptoms of a contagious illness. Wash or sanitize your hands regularly, especially before eating and after using shared equipment. Alcohol and Other Substances Drink responsibly and know your limits. Never provide alcohol or any substance to someone without their knowledge and consent. Do not drive after drinking or using substances. Use a ride share service, taxi, public transportation, or a designated driver when needed. Look after friends and fellow guests. If someone appears unwell, unconscious, or unable to care for themselves, contact venue staff or call 911. Do not bring prohibited substances, weapons, or unsafe items into any event. Sexual Health and Safer Play Discuss boundaries, limits, health considerations, and safer practices before intimate or physical activity. Use appropriate barriers and protection when needed. Do not participate in intimate activity if you are too intoxicated to communicate or make informed decisions. Follow all venue rules regarding private areas, equipment, and personal conduct. Clean shared equipment before and after use. Stop immediately if anyone expresses discomfort, pain, uncertainty, or a desire to stop. Venue Safety Locate emergency exits when you arrive. Follow instructions from event staff, venue staff, security personnel, and emergency responders. Keep walkways, exits, entrances, and fire lanes clear. Do not climb on structures, block doorways, or interfere with emergency equipment. Keep personal belongings secure and report lost items to venue staff. Follow all posted parking rules and use only authorized parking areas. Outdoor Events and Weather Check the weather before attending outdoor events. Bring water, sunscreen, rain protection, and weather appropriate clothing. Move indoors or follow organizer instructions if lightning, severe storms, or unsafe conditions develop. Never shelter under isolated trees during lightning. Inform event staff if you experience signs of heat exhaustion, including dizziness, nausea, weakness, headache, confusion, or unusual sweating. Accessibility and Support Guests who need accessibility assistance should contact the event organizers or venue before attending whenever possible. Service animals are welcome in accordance with applicable law and venue policy. Do not block accessible parking spaces, ramps, entrances, seating areas, or pathways. If you need assistance, ask an event staff member, security team member, or venue employee. Emergencies For immediate medical, fire, police, or safety emergencies, call 911.
