Event Security Hire & Event security guards Melbourne

As an event host apart from planning a successful event, it’s your job to ensure the safety of your staff & guests. Often event security is the last component event organisers consider and dedicate budget towards. The potential for harm is too great not to take event security seriously. It only takes one negative incident to ruin an event. Make sure that you have the right team and hire the right event security service check out our recommendations.

Recommendations

Assess Your Security Risks

In terms of security, different events will have different needs. A music concert or festival has a much higher risk than, say, a twelve-year-old’s birthday party.

Your first step is to decide what type of risk you’re dealing with. 

Consider:

  • Who is hosting your event? Are they a target for any individual or group?
  • Who is attending your event? Do they attract controversy?
  • What is the context of the event? Does its topic or subtopics invite security problems?
  • Who is speaking, performing, or exhibiting at the event? Do they attract large crowds or present any unique security risks?
  • Does the venue have any security vulnerabilities? 
  • What is the ratio of guests to staff & security personnel?

Semi-Internal Inspection

The main goal of security isn’t to respond to threats. The goal is to prevent threats from happening in the first place. The best protection is high visibility acting as a deterrent. It’s ideal if a potential agitator sees your security measures and moves on.

By making your security team uniform, presence and devices obvious, you also make your attendees feel safer. They know you’ve enlisted the help of professionals and tools to protect their wellbeing. 

In the event of an emergency, they know where to find help.

Checkpoint Security

One of the key ways to protect people from security threats is to set up checkpoints at the entrance away from the main gathering.

This acts as a single entry & exit point that attendees must pass through to get inside. 

Allowing guests to be registered & identified before entry.

Look out for people who don’t belong or posing as staff. If you can, give your team a unique identifier (like a wrist band, stamp, or T-shirt) on the day of the event. 

Don’t let anyone access the identifier or upload pictures online as it can encourage forgery. 

Having a secure checkpoint can prevent:

  • Uninvited guests from entering
  • Trouble makers causing a scene
  • Weapons or banned substances entering the premises

Emergency Plan

You’ll want to sit with your security team and the venue before the event to create an emergency response plan. The purpose of the plan is to draft a procedure that everyone will enact in the event of a disaster.

The plan should include.

 

  • Different ways to mass evacuate the event.
  • What to do when there’s an active threat.
  • The locations of safe rooms or areas for guests.
  • Where staff should meet during an emergency.
  • How staff will communicate during an emergency.
  • How you’ll direct guests during an emergency.
  • Signage and notifications for guests regarding how to respond.

You can’t eliminate all event security risks, but you can reduce their likelihood, minimise the chance of harm to your guests, and discourage agitators from causing trouble. 

The keys to good security are preparation and vigilance. If you consider your threats and invest resources into countering trouble, you’ll host a safe event for all your guests.

SecurT Protection is my go to for Security Guards and Officers to protect my property. To say the least I have been very impressed. I've had guards at my residence and they work well. The quality of guards at the company are far more experienced and trained.
