There
are many different types of doorman and security staff employed within the UK.
With numerous nightclubs, bars and pubs opening up every year, it is often a
sensible choice for managers of such establishments to employ door staff and
security personnel in order to protect the physical safety of their patrons, reputation,
business and financial interests.
Within
the UK today there are in excess of 200,000 nightclubs, bars and pubs who are
fully licensed to serve alcohol to the general public. Where the law imposes
strict laws under the Licensing Act 2003, it does not actually provide
companies with any requirements as to the extent of security required. So what
are the risks posed to an establishment that employs untrained or unskilled
doormen?
