With the summer season and vacations just around the corner, the desire to spend time with friends in the sun, listening to music and partying is making itself felt. Open-air summer festivals have already begun to appear, events that often attract large crowds. To ensure the smooth running and protection of participants and staff, it's important to take into account safety aspects such as crowd and flow management, access control and emergency exits, and first-aid zones. Protecting festival-goers is paramount Access control is not just about checking tickets. Bag checks and security palpations can be set up to prevent dangerous objects or prohibited substances from entering the festival area. To ensure the protection of festival-goers, it is important to set up a surveillance system. In fact, certain sensitive areas can be used as hiding places for drug dealing or aggression. Security personnel are trained to patrol the premises regularly for preventive purposes, but must also be able to intervene rapidly in the event of any incidents. Good crowd management is central in venues that attract so many people, whether during popular concerts or in gathering places such as the catering area. It's also important to have an emergency plan, and to know how to react in the event of serious situations such as fire, crowd movement or other more serious threats. Security managers are able to collaborate with local police, medical and fire services. Their strength lies in their ability to liaise with these different players to ensure optimum coordination in terms of safety. Prevention and intervention It's also important to make festival-goers aware of the need to look after their own safety and that of others, whether in relation to crowds, excessive consumption of alcohol or drugs. Clearly signposted evacuation routes, first-aid zones and emergency numbers are also essential. All these measures are intended to have a preventive effect, but on-site security and rescue personnel are also on hand to react quickly to any incidents that may occur.
