Potential threats from crowds and events
Physical safety concerns
Large crowds, particularly in confined spaces or during panic, can lead to stampedes and crowd crushes, potentially causing injuries when people are pushed or fall.
Violence and aggression
Events with high emotions, alcohol consumption or underlying tensions, such as music festivals, sports events and political demonstrations, can escalate into physical confrontations.
Medical and health emergencies
Large gatherings can lead to delays in medical treatment, spread infectious diseases if proper sanitation and hygiene aren’t maintained, and create panic and anxiety.
Security issues
Security breaches can occur if perimeter control or access points aren’t adequately monitored. Large crowds also provide cover for theft and robbery incidences.
Environmental hazards
Outdoor events are susceptible to weather, such as lightning, storms and extreme heat. There’s also a risk that temporary structures or stages may collapse, causing injury.
Terrorism and bomb threats
Large and public events may be targets for terrorist acts, including bombings, vehicle attacks or knifing incidents, causing significant harm to attendees and staff.
Our crowd control services
We pride ourselves on our ability to effectively and efficiently manage crowds of all sizes, from hundreds to thousands, to ensure everyone in attendance is safe and comfortable.
Effective crowd management
We take a proactive approach to crowd management including planning for attendance and crowd dynamics, optimising the venue or space, signage, monitoring crowd density and behaviour to detect issues early and preparing for emergencies.
Controlling access to venues and events
This includes verifying tickets or credentials at entry points and security screenings to detect prohibited items using the latest technologies. It also involves coordinating with security personnel to prevent unauthorised access, control the crowd and ensure compliance.
Security personnel for public screening and entry/exit points
All entry and exit points are manned by highly trained, certified and reliable orange-uniformed security personnel. As well as conducting screenings they act as a visible deterrent against potential security threats and can help manage crowds and emergencies.
Proactive patrolling to ensure security and safety
Our security personnel provide regular and vigilant monitoring by moving around event areas on foot or by vehicle. This proactive approach deters potential disruptions, ensures adherence to safety protocols and enables swift response to incidents.
Monitoring of suspicious activities
We actively observe and assess attendee behaviour and activities in your venue or during an event to identify potential threats or suspicious conduct. If detected, they can swiftly intervene, prevent incidents and maintain a calm, safe environment.
