Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION TO CROWD MANAGEMENT Crowd Management Plan An Event Crowd Management Team should posses : excellent teamwork clear communication coordination between those responsible for the overall organisation and those dealing with the crowds face to face Developing the plan : A key responsibility of the Event Safety Management Team is to gather core data to inform the development of the crowd safety management plan. The team must: 1. research the types of visitor that are expected and anticipate likely crowd behaviour 2. collate and assess information (if available) about the health and safety records of previous events at the same venue 3. liaise with outside organisations such as the Police and emergency services, which have extensive knowledge and experience (police, civil defends, ambulance, local municipal,) 4. conduct a risk assessment to determine the adequacy of arrangements for controlling crowds, and change them if necessary 5. inspect the venue and review crowd safety arrangements at regular intervals (VIP inspection necessary if involved) 6. set targets for crowd management (for example, if queues extend past a particular point, specify that another service point should be opened).
