Do you work in the non-security sector of the live music event world?
Do you want to know more about what happens in the pit?
We will be running a CPD (Continuing Professional Development) event to go through the standard security/ crowd management operational procedures for front of stage barrier, more commonly referred to as the pit.
Event date: 07/10/24
Time: 10:30 - 14:30
Location: Portsmouth Guildhall, PO1 2AB
We have been delivering pit training to security staff for over 12 years. Having worked as both security/ crowd managers and health and safety team, we've realised that this sacred space sometime appears to full of little understood protocols for those that don't directly work there.
Some of the topics that will be covered are:-
What should a crowd management team be doing?
Have you wondered what spotters do?
What initial and ongoing safety checks should be carried out?
Some of you will be working on sites where a reputable contractor/ supplier will build the barrier system, inspect and sign it off. Some may not have such a formal process. Who is checking that the barrier system stays how it should be until the end of the event?
What does safe management look like?
What are the pros and cons of different lifting techniques that are commonly taught, to keep your audience (and workers) safe.
How crowds differ with different genres?
From fairly static mature crowds, to younger livelier audiences, through to the sometimes complex movement of a metal crowd. It's not just about crowd surfers.
Bands/ performers (and their Tour Management) from around the world can have quite different expectations from a security/ crowd management team.
What impact does event specifics and barrier design have on a pit layout?
Considerations from, how many attendees, type of ground the audience are on, or the barrier, the topography of the site, through to anticipated weather.
