security

Introduction

Security is an important aspect that needs to be taken into consideration when hosting an event, as it was not fully taken into consideration during the valentine’s dinner that was held on the 14^th of February 2015 at Barclays Plaza BAC campus. Australian Government (2011) illustrate that it is of paramount importance for an event planner to ensure that the security team proved a safe and secure surrounding for the clients. Dwyer et al (2010) state that security team for events should ensure that they can manage the crowed attending.

During the valentines dinner there was only one person who was a sighed to be security and collecting cash and tickets for two entrance doors. Connors (2007) illustrate that security team should have a work force should know how many people are needed for security and they should be allocated to their duties and responsibilities. The security guy could not manage alone which resulted in some clients entering without the paying. Health and Safety Executive (2008) illustrate that when dealing with large crowed during an event they should be a queue to control movement when entering and exiting.
