06 Questions answered

Before you scope event stewards.

These are general operational answers. The assessment establishes the exact legal, licensing, safety and delivery requirements.

01Do event stewards need an SIA licence?

Not for every role. General safety, information and customer-service duties can be non-licensable. If the assigned task crosses into a licensable security activity, appropriately licensed personnel must be used.

02What briefing do stewards receive?

A useful briefing covers the event layout, role, public information, emergency signals, accessibility, prohibited areas, radio procedure, welfare, escalation and supervisor structure.

03Can stewards help during an evacuation?

Yes, within their training and the event emergency plan. They can give directions, hold routes, support accessibility and report conditions to supervisors.
