Crowd Control at Events. Dubai World Trade Centre requires organizers to give strong consideration for the control of large numbers of visitors to the venues that it provides. DWTC Security Division ensures that arrangements and controls are in place that persons are not put at risk by a large numbers of Crowds. Likewise, is responsible for the visitor arrangements at events which must be given adequate consideration by a competent person. The control of large crowds must be carried out in accordance with internationally accepted standards and we would recommend the following publications to act as those standards; • HSG195: Events Safety Guide [ISBN 0717624536, HSE:1999] • HSG154: Managing Crowds Safety [ISBN 071761834X, HSE,2000] Consideration must be given to the hazard involved and a Risk Assessment must be made to ascertain the extent of that risk and reduce it to an acceptable level. Such consideration may include the following; • allocated seating at events rather than ‘first come first served’ arrangements which tend to encourage the urgency of access. • early access to allow a stream of visitors rather than the holding of large numbers of persons at crowding points. • the checking arrangements for tickets and access stamps so as not to create secondary crowding points within venues • clear labelling of seating areas to allow the organized and speedy flow of persons away from access areas. • Police barriers are allowed to be placed at the outdoor premises only and it is designed and manufacture for traffic purposes. It is not allowed to be used as part of any internal barriers like in the concourses 1 and 2 or inside the exhibition halls etc. The purpose of not allowing is due to the sharp and pointed legs which may be a physical hazard if over turned as per the standard stated at NFPA and DCD Federal law. • Any barriers to be used as internal event, legs should have covered by rubber or reflectorized sticker must be visible from anyone to prevent physical injury if over turned. • Sufficient entry and exit points for the size of the expected crowd. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list and much thorough consideration will be required, commensurate with the size of the event, for large exhibitions, concerts and similar gatherings. A checklist exists in the appendices of this document which may assist organizers in applying suitable safety application to large crowds at the venues.
