BOOK NOW!

With the ‘unknown certainty’ of unexpected occurrences, human behavior and the margin of error, it is impossible to ensure a risk-free environment at Australia’s public venues and events. Incidents will happen and emergencies will arise. It is a matter of how one prepares, responds, and recovers to mitigate the consequences of emergencies at a venue or event.
“A good risk management approach includes three primary elements: a threat assessment, a vulnerability assessment, and a criticality assessment.” These assessments provide vital information for the protection patrons and the physical venue. By identifying vulnerabilities and gaps, venue managers and event organizers will thus be able to harden the facility and improve physical protection systems as well as developing or updating emergency response and evacuation plans.
Venue managers need to be aware of risk assessment methodologies to detect threats, identify vulnerabilities, and reduce consequences. Information gathered through this process is extremely valuable for enhancing security measures.
This interactive 2-day workshop delves into risk assessment and analysis, addresses the need for risk assessments at venues and events, and describes the specific risk assessment models. Regardless of how robust you believe your risk management system or plan is, disaster has an uncanny way of striking when you become complacent or content with your current security practices. It is a challenge and an ongoing battle which never goes away – how to be vigilant, stay alert and be prepared for the ‘unthinkable.’
