In order to provide a safe environment and control behaviour, Public Event Hosts must ensure that entrances and exits are supervised. By controlling entry, underage, intoxicated, rowdy or unauthorized people can be prevented from entering an event. This will considerably reduce the likelihood of a problem occurring.
a) Door and Floor Monitors
A minimum of two people will monitor entrances and check identification, and an additional one person per 100 guests, or minimum of two additional people will monitor the floor at Public Events. All monitors must be 19 years of age or older.
The Permit Holder will ensure that all monitors will supervise the event, encourage legal and moderate drinking behaviour, ensure that no one consumes alcohol in an unauthorized location, and ensure that any problems that arise are dealt with appropriately.
b) Event Workers
Event workers must wear highly visible identification. Suggestions include shirts, hats or badges.
The Permit Holder will ensure that the Bartenders and Servers do not serve alcohol to underage, intoxicated, rowdy or unauthorized people at the event.
