What we do
Live events cannot exist if permits, safety, health and mobility are not scientifically and properly arranged. Our experienced “Crowd Management Professionals” guide your event through these essential duties, from start to end.
SKILLS Crowd Management can help with specific parts of your event or take care of the entire process- from permit applications to security; first aid deployment to mobility plans and clear signage; to developing emergency scenarios and preparing the staff for them.
In case of an international request for our services, SKILLS offers support to local event or project managers of large-scale public events. We delve deep into understanding the local laws. The local knowledge of legislation and regulations, as well as operational knowledge and experience in the field of Crowd Management & Event Safety, is a perfect combination.
Crowd management and crowd control consists of monitoring the safety of visitors and employees during an event. A crowd management plan states how the organization expects the public to move around the event site and what behaviour they’re likely to display. SKILLS Crowd Management is specialized in monitoring the audience based on influx, queue formation and density in an area. This experience is used to write and execute secure and robust crowd management plans.
Crowd control relates to the detection, control and recovery from untoward incidents. A detailed understanding of the impact of dynamics, crowd density, the capacity of the site and crowd flows are essential to be able to make important decisions during large-scale events; and to prevent new problems from arising elsewhere.
SKILLS Crowd Management has many years of experience in guiding the entire permit process. Our end-to-end system starts from the first registration and submitting the required documents; to service consultations; to inspection and finally, implementation at the event. SKILLS Crowd Management takes care of all safety plans and makes agreements with partners from various disciplines- including medical, security, traffic and noise. SKILLS acts as a point of contact for these partners and for services such as the municipality, police, fire brigade and GGD/GHOR.
You can also use SKILLS Crowd Management for capacity calculations or for professionalizing existing plans.
To gain insight into where your organization stands with regard to crowd management, we also take up event scans. SKILLS will go through the entire planning process, visit the event, conduct a thorough investigation and provide a report based on our observations.
