  2. What Is Security? • We all want security in life, and fans and athletes demand it. • How can you make your home safer? • How can you make a gym on campus safer? • The key to security is foreseeability. Could you have prevented a foreseeable occurrence?

  3. Security To ensure employees are capable of implementing a security plan, you need the following: • A plan • A facility that meets all applicable building codes and statutes • Use of appropriate technology • Sufficient staff • Properly trained staff

  4. Crowd Management • What is a crowd? • How do crowds move? • Why is crowd movement important? • When do you start crowd management? • What is the difference between crowd management and crowd control? • Crowd control is when you are already in trouble. • Crowd management entails proactive steps that can help prevent crowd problems. (continued)

  5. Crowd Management (continued) • Fan education: letting fans know about the facility’s rules and regulations • Alcohol policy: monitoring alcohol sales to help prevent problems caused by intoxicated patrons

  6. Other Safety Concerns • Workplace violence • Terrorism • Computer crime • Theft or robbery: a lot of cash at some facilities • Unethical conduct: faking repair records • Fraud

  7. Crisis Management • Crisis planning The crisis plan examines what internal, external, or technology threats can harm a facility. • Emergency action plan An EAP can be mandated by the OSHA to give employees the means to get out of a facility alive. • Continuity management How can a facility stay open or recover after a major disaster such as a fire, earthquake, or terrorist attack?

  8. Summary • A facility manager needs to ensure a facility is safe for all those in and around the facility. • Through developing a plan, creating policies and procedures, implementing technological assistance, training the staff, and executing the plan, a facility does not need to be a dangerous location.

  9. Discussion Questions and Activities • Identify the risks that can arise if a crowd is not properly monitored. • If you were developing a safety plan, what issues would you want your security staff to examine? • Tour a local sport facility and develop a safety audit (highlighting all the safety issues you can spot) or an emergency action plan.
