Your First Event & Festival Security Shift

Starting your first event or festival security shift as an SIA Door Supervisor?

You already have your training and licence — but you may still be wondering what actually happens when you arrive for that first assignment.

Your First Event & Festival Security Shift is a practical 27-page A5 PDF designed to help newly licensed Door Supervisors understand what to expect, what to find out and what to pay attention to during their first event assignment.

Inside the guide:

• preparing before the shift

• arrival and security check-in

• what to listen for during the briefing

• your first minutes at a new position

• gate and access-point work

• front-of-stage/barrier positions

• backstage, crew and VIP access

• perimeter and patrol positions

• radio communication in a live assignment

• breaks, relief and welfare

• finishing the shift

• first-shift checklists, notes and reflection pages

You are already trained. Now you’re learning the assignment.

This guide does not provide SIA training and does not replace employer training, Assignment Instructions, event procedures, risk assessments or current SIA requirements.
