  1. What is Legionella and why should venue operators be aware of it?

    Answer: A bacterium that causes Legionnaires' disease, which can grow in poorly maintained water systems

    Legionella bacteria thrive in water systems between 20-45°C. Venues with cooling towers, spas, showers, or decorative fountains must manage this risk through water treatment and temperature control.

  2. What is the employer's duty regarding violence at work?

    Answer: Conduct a risk assessment for violence, implement controls, report incidents, and support affected staff

    Under the HSE guidance on violence at work, employers must assess the risk, implement controls (training, procedures, equipment), and support staff affected by violent incidents.

  3. What is 'occupier's liability' and how does it affect door supervisors?

    Answer: The duty owed by those controlling premises to ensure visitors and even trespassers are reasonably safe

    Under the Occupiers' Liability Acts 1957 and 1984, those controlling premises owe a duty to visitors (and even trespassers) to keep them reasonably safe.

  4. What should a door supervisor do if they notice overcrowding in the venue?

    Answer: Alert management immediately and implement a 'one in, one out' policy at the door

    Overcrowding is a serious fire safety risk. Door supervisors should monitor capacity, alert management, and control entry to maintain safe numbers.

  5. What are the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning?

    Answer: Headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and cherry-red skin colour in severe cases

    CO is odourless and colourless. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, and confusion. Cherry-red skin is a late sign. Venues with gas appliances must have CO detectors.

  6. What welfare facilities must be provided for door supervisors?

    Answer: Access to toilets, drinking water, rest facilities, and shelter from adverse weather

    The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require employers to provide adequate welfare facilities including toilets, drinking water, and rest areas.
