Euros 2024: Is Your Pub Ready For Kick-Off?
As the excitement of the UEFA European Championships sweeps across the nation and England fans hopeful its coming home!!! pubs and bars become vibrant hubs of activity, brimming with passionate football fans.
For many, watching the games in these public settings enhances the thrill, camaraderie and emotional rollercoaster that football brings.
However, with the surge in foot traffic and heightened emotions, ensuring the safety and security of customers at your pub or bar becomes an increasingly harder task.
This is where Door Security, plays a crucial role!
Having trained and licenced security officers on your premises can help mitigate the potential risks and be fundamental to your businesses reputation, profits and success, along with meeting legal obligations.
Below are some of the key benefits you will gain from hiring Door Security:
- Enhancing Safety and Order
One of the primary reasons for having door security in pubs during the Euros is to maintain a safe and orderly environment. Football matches, particularly those involving national teams, can evoke intense emotions. The presence of trained security staff at the entrance acts as a deterrent, diffusing tensions before they escalate into conflicts and help in managing the crowd effectively. They are equipped to handle various situations from dealing with overly intoxicated individuals to diffusing heated arguments that could escalate into physical altercations.
- Managing Capacity and Compliance
Door security also ensures that pubs adhere to legal capacity limits. Overcrowding is a common issue and can lead to numerous problems, including increased risk of accidents, discomfort and compromised evacuation routes in case of emergencies. Security Guards monitor and control the number of people entering, ensuring the venue remains within safe limits. Additionally, they help enforce age restrictions, preventing underage drinking, which is particularly crucial during such high-profile events where alcohol consumption tends to rise.
- Preventing Unauthorized Items
During the Euros, fans often bring various items to express their support. While most of these are harmless, there is a risk of prohibited or dangerous items being smuggled in. Door security is vital in conducting thorough yet respectful searches to prevent the entry of such items, helping to safeguarding other customers and staff from potential harm.
- Age Verification and Responsible Drinking
Another important function of door security is to verify the age of customers and ensure that minors do not gain access to the premises. This is particularly relevant during events like the Euros when underage individuals might attempt to enter pubs to join the celebrations. By diligently checking IDs, door security helps uphold the law and fosters a responsible drinking environment. In addition, door security can monitor customer behaviour for signs of excessive intoxication and take appropriate action, such as refusing entry or arranging safe transportation for those who are too intoxicated.
- Responding to Emergencies
In the event of an emergency, whether it’s a medical issue, a fire or a security threat, having trained door security on site can be lifesaving. Security Guards such as the ones we deploy here at Taur Security are trained in first aid and emergency response, enabling them to act swiftly and effectively. Their presence ensures that any incidents are managed promptly and efficiently, minimizing the risk of panic and further complications.
- Supporting a Positive Atmosphere
The presence of door security can also enhance the overall experience for customers. Knowing that there are security professionals dedicated to maintaining a safe environment allows fans to relax and enjoy the game without constant worry. This contributes to a more positive and enjoyable atmosphere, where the focus remains on having a good time with their families and friends and the excitement of the matches.
- Deterrent Effect
The presence of door security acts as a significant deterrent to potential offenders. Knowing that there are trained professionals monitoring the entrance and keeping an eye on activities can dissuade individuals from attempting to cause trouble. This pre-emptive approach is crucial in maintaining a peaceful environment where everyone can enjoy the matches.
