Staying safe in a Nightclub

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Saturday, November 18, 2017 In : Personal Security 
Even with the recent club fires in past years, it’s safe to say that being vigilante in the area of safety isn’t at the forefront of the average clubbers mind, since most people are just looking to get the most buzz for their money when it comes to having fun and enjoying themselves, but that has to change.



Consumers should take extra notice of clubs that are either above or below ground level, since these types of venues require stairs to enter and exit, and staircases always create the p...

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Thursday, November 16, 2017 In : Personal Security 
There are things you should always do to keep safe on the road, but there are additional measures you should take to stay safe at night.

Here are some ways you can make sure you are as safe as possible when driving alone at night.

Being a better door supervisor (part four)

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Friday, October 13, 2017 In : Door Supervisors 
A doorman will very often have only a few seconds to weigh up a situation before they need to react in some way. Reacting in the correct way is obviously fundamental to being a good door supervisor – in order to do that, you need to be able to understand the type of situation that is occurring.



A good way to do this is to have a mental gauge of the various degrees of trouble you are confronted with. For example:

A level 1 situation could be a low threat incident where the patron is asked to l...

Being a better door supervisor (part three)

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Friday, October 13, 2017 In : Door Supervisors 
You should be well aware of the type of crowd you are dealing with, and the differences in crowd on a nightly basis. More generally, has there been an influx of a certain type of group – say drunken lads watching the football, or a stag party. A hen night can be equally as boisterous at times.



Be careful not to prejudice unfairly, however you need to be aware of how the crowd is behaving. Preventing any issues before they occur is always the best policy.

And this one is an extension of knowin...

Being a better door supervisor (part two)

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Friday, October 13, 2017 In : Door Supervisors 
Where possible and when appropriate, the back exit is often the best to use.



Not only is it less crowded to take the patron out via the back exit, it also stops other customers from seeing the problems taking place and potentially put off those waiting in line from entering.

A good door supervisor will be able to look around the bar and be able to judge approximately how close to full capacity it actually is. Furthermore, in large clubs the establishment should be recording just how many patron...

Being a better door supervisor (part one)

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Friday, October 13, 2017 In : Door Supervisors 
A good door supervisor is completely aware of their surroundings. If you are new to a job and therefore establishment, take time to learn where all the exits are – including those that are generally off limits to patrons.



While working, you should always know where you are on the floor in relation to these exits. If trouble starts, you cannot be looking around trying to get your bearings when a drunken troublemaker is attempting to shove a glass in your face.

You should also know how busy the...

Safety tips for working after hours

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Saturday, September 30, 2017 In : Personal Security 

We’ve all done it—worked into the late hours of the morning only to realise that we’re now alone, the staff car park is deserted, and no one knows where we are. Working late and on weekends is often a necessary evil, but it’s important to take precautions to avoid safety issues when you do have to burn the midnight oil. 



Notify
Tell your boss that you’re working late. Notify internal security staff; in some cases this also includes building security. In fact, program the number for bu...

Dealing with drunk customers

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 In : Personal Security 
Part of being a bartender is your ability for dealing with drunks and unruly customers.



It is essential you deal with customers who have had a little bit too much to drink in the correct manner to get the best outcome.

Remember – it is illegal to serve customers who are too drunk as you may be putting their lives at risk. Bottom line, don’t serve the intoxicated.

What to do if a dog attacks you

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 In : Personal Security 
Even though dog bites are relatively common, full-blown attacks are not. It is important to know what to do in the unlikely event an attack happens.



What type of behaviour do dogs normally exhibit before attacking?

There is no one size fits all when it comes to the signals a dog gives before attacking, and while the signs of aggression such as growling, snarling, baring teeth and lunging are easy to read, there can also be signs that are so subtle, such as a moment of tension or a small freeze,...

Staying safe on buses and trains

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Monday, September 25, 2017 In : Personal Security 


Know the bus or train times

It sounds obvious but knowing the time your train or bus is due to leave will save you hanging round on dark platforms or at bus stops at this time of year. It's particularly important to know the time of the last bus or train home if you are travelling late at night so that you do not become stranded - and vulnerable to attack.

Catch your bus or train from somewhere well lit

Thieves are far less likely to strike in well lit areas so try to make sure that you catch yo...
