manage customer behaviour to prevent risks that could jeopardise a licence or result in legal claims. By maintaining order and supporting regulatory requirements, security enables operators to run their premises responsibly, confidently, and in line with licensing laws and safety regulations.
Door Supervisors work in licensed venues like bars and clubs, managing entry and crowd control. Security Guards protect offices, retail, construction, and other non-licensed sites.

Door Supervisors and Security Guards both require SIA licensing but serve different environments and responsibilities. Door Supervisors operate in licensed venues such as bars, clubs, fastfood sites, and events, focusing on entry control, crowd management, and licensing compliance. Security Guards typically work in offices, retail, warehouses, industrial sites, and construction, managing access, patrols, asset protection, and overall site safety. Choosing the right role ensures compliance, reduces risk, and provides effective security tailored to your environment.
