Millega tuleb erinevatel üritustel turvateenuse osutamisel arvestada?
Ühel üritusel tuleb arvestada väga paljude erinevate faktoritega. Palju oleneb kliendi soovidest ja vajadusest.
Peamiselt tuleb silmas pidada:
- Osalejate arv – suurem hulk inimesi eeldab rohkem turvatöötajaid.
- Kui palju kaasad korraldajana vabatahtlikke.
- Avalikul üritusel turvaplaan kohustuseks.
- Esinejate, pealtvaatajate ja tehnika turvalisus.
- Varavalve ja avaliku korra tagamine.
- Liikluse suunamine, liikluskorraldus ja -skeemid.
- Kas turvatöötaja täidab ka klienditeenindaja rolli.
- Fännitsooni turvamine.
- Pakihoiu- ja garderoobiteenus.
Spordisündmustele tuleb näiteks arvestada, et iga spordiala nõuab spetsiifilist lähenemist (turvameeskonna koolitamine vastavalt alale).
Pidulikumad sündmused aga eeldavad turvatöötajatelt tavapärasest soliidsemat riietust.
Lisaks tuleb arvestada prominentsete külalistele turvalisuse tagamisele.
