Event Security

What is an Event Security Licence?

All those who provide security services in an event’s entertainment area must hold the PSA 39:2014 Door Supervisor (Event Security) licence.

PSA 39:2014 defines the Entertainment Area as the specific area of a venue where the entertainment or social performance takes place and where the provision of a security service is undertaken by a Door Supervisor (Event Security) provider. The Entertainment Area includes areas where alcohol and food are served.

The Security Guard (Event Security) licence is required by all those who provide security services in the Periphery Area of an event. PSA 39:2014 defines the Periphery Area as the specific area of a venue adjacent to or in the vicinity of the Entertainment Area where the provision of a security service is undertaken by a Security Guard (Event Security) provider. The Periphery Area includes car parks, accommodation areas, venue perimeter and approaches, and any other location not within the Entertainment Area.

Implementation

PSA 31:2014 is the standard the PSA requires for new entrants into the Event Security sector. This standard outlines the procedures and systems needed before a company can begin offering services as an event security provider.

The PSA has issued the standard and the certification guidelines, which are free of charge from the PSA website.
