Nightclub and Bar Security Certification

Nightclub and Bar Security

A bar, pub, casino or nightclub may have a queue for entry, with security staff, commonly referred to as bouncers, managing the access to the premises. This is an important job, ensuring that those who enter are safe and legally allowed to be there. These staff also ensure that the establishment does not exceed capacity. Being a bouncer comes with many responsibilities. Bouncers not only protect staff and patrons from difficult or dangerous situations, but also protect the business owners by ensuring the relevant rules and regulations are adhered to. The job can be dangerous. To address any possible violence in clubs, bars, tourist and nightlife attractions etc, it has become more of a business need than a liability to hire bouncers. This means that regulations and certifications are the standard when hiring. UK regulations require that anyone whose job involves guarding licensed premises must hold a Door Supervisor Licence.
