Crowd Management Safety Guidelines for Retailers 2
Crowd Management Safety Guidelines for Retailers 2 : Planning: (1) Where large crowds are expected, hire additional staff as needed and have trained security or crowd management personnel or police officers on site. (2) Create a detailed staffing plan that designates a location for each worker. Based on the size of the crowd expected, determine the number of workers that are needed in various locations to ensure the safety of the event (e.g., near the door entrances and throughout the store). (3) Ensure that workers are properly trained to manage the event. (4) Contact local fire and police agencies to determine if the event site meets all public safety requirements, and ensure that all permits and licenses are obtained and that local emergency services, including the local police, fire department and hospital, are aware of the event. (5) Designate a worker to contact local emergency responders if necessary. (6) Designate a store manager to make key decisions as needed during the event. (7) Provide legible and visible signs that describe entrance and exit locations, store opening times, and other important information such as the location of major sale items and restrooms. (8) Prepare an emergency plan that addresses potential dangers facing workers, including overcrowding, crowd crushing, being struck by the crowd, violent acts and fire. Share emergency plan with all local public safety agencies. (9) Train workers in crowd management procedures and the emergency plan. Provide them with an opportunity to practice the special event plan. Include local public safety agencies if appropriate. See more from topic source: https://www.osha.gov/html/a-z-index.html
