Our Weekly Crowd Safety Bulletin

Managing crowds involves significant risk. The extent, severity and exposure to risk
will vary depending on: the circumstances crowd management find themselves in;
how well crowd safety staff have been prepared; and how effectively risks have
been controlled.

Common problems faced are:

• Controlling the entry into the event
• Monitoring and communicating with crowds
• Influencing crowd behaviour
• “First Response” first aid and critical care
• Preparing for, coordinating and responding to emergencies including the possibility of emergency evacuation.

How prepared are you?
