A public venue is any site that invites people other than its workers onto the site. They are unique because they owe a special duty of care to visitors under law, and have a limited opportunity to train, influence and control these individuals. There can be a large number of patrons or users of the venue with numerous stakeholders involved.
Unique risks
Public venues present a considerable public safety risk, due to large numbers of people in close proximity to one another.
Venue categories
There is a large variety of public venues, each providing a unique set of challenges to risk management. Categories include arenas, convention centres, councils, leisure venues, parklands and public domain, performing arts centres, race tracks, schools, shopping centres, ski resorts, sporting venues, stadia, theme parks, universities and other tertiary institutions.
