So, this course will offer something new, with an in-depth guide to enable security professionals in dealing with any issues that arise effectively, while:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.357), 17px);\"><li>Working on the doors<\/li><li>Keeping venues open and safe&nbsp;<\/li><li>Saving thousands of victims from harm<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Keep venues safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The duty of security professionals working at different venues is not to kick people out in case they are under the influence of a drug. A successful security officer is one who can ensure that the venue is as safe as possible and protect everyone within it. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to deal with anyone under drug influence and keep people safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Prevent spiking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, with the recent epidemic of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.get-licensed.co.uk\/get-daily\/nightclub-spiking-alarms-local-police-5-ways-cctv-can-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">needle spiking incidents<\/a>, the knowledge you have will aid you to identify suspicious people and prevent those who can fall prey to such incidents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Save a life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The course will also help you facilitate anyone who suffers due to drug influence. Since you will learn the effects and risks of several drugs, you can identify risks such as stroke, unconsciousness, injury and accidents and help someone suffering while present at the venue. So, having the knowledge on how to help reduce harm in such a situation is priceless and could potentially save a life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.get-licensed.co.uk\/get-daily\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/festival-2-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Large crowd at an outdoor music festival, highlighting the need for harm reduction training for safety and security personnel.\" class=\"wp-image-36484\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drug Testing At Festivals Is Now Disappearing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drug Testing has been happening at UK festivals for about 10 years, and is a way to identify potentially deadly substances and warn people about them.
