Stay safe, save money with event security If you don’t want to spend money on event security you could be running a false economy. Theft,
damage to property, lost laptops; can you risk it? Then there’s
the impact on your insurance premiums if somebody tried to sue you
for damages if they injured themselves at your event. The more seriously
you take event security, the more cost effective you can be.

Theft
If
it’s not nailed down, it’s going to walk. Laptops develop
legs, banners get bumped off, and silverware gets mistakenly dropped
into handbags. Theft is always a major concern, whether it’s
a corporate event, product launch or private party. If you don’t pay up front for event security, you could end up paying later. Unwanted Guests Crazed
fans can cause havoc - Tom Cruise at a premier, David Bowie on stage
- you know fans will go to any lengths to touch their shirt tails.
Even a CEO can cause some people to go postal. Especially if a company’s
work isn’t popular with everyone and for example, upsets animal
rights activists or political demonstrators. Crowd management Even if Tom Jones isn’t playing in front of the WI, scuffles can still break out. Disgruntled employees at corporate events could have one too many and end up in a fight with their line manager. Event security officers can help keep crowds in control, and spot the problem before it flares up. It is impossible to completely prevent unwanted incidents from occurring at an event. But you can greatly reduce the chances and the unwanted costs by recruiting an event security service, and be safe rather than sorry. Top 5 Risk management tips 1) Think through all the factors that could jeopardise your event and consider the probable effect any incidents could have on your event (and the cost!). 2) Assess which of those factors can be reduced by using a suitable event security service. 3) Consider drawing up a crisis management plan to cover any incidents that may occur. 4) Risk assessments should always be carried out by trained personnel. 5) Contracts and documentation are essential for covering your bases on health and safety issues.
