Builds on: Workplace Safety: Asset Types, Incidents and Crowds
Crowds and Queues on Duty
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
A festival at a temple. A sale day at the mall. The evening rush at a railway station. A big crowd is usually happy and peaceful. But when too many people are pushed into too little space, people can be crushed to death within minutes. Most of those deaths can be prevented.
Focus: watch the space, not just the people. Act early, before the crowd gets too tight.
Learning objectives
- Explain how a crowd crush happens.
- Spot the warning signs that a crowd is too dense.
- Keep queues and barriers safe.
- Use the post brief, and plan for heat and rain on crowd duty.
