New rules come in today requiring that all new door staff at bars and clubs must learn how to safely restrain and remove customers who have had one too many and are violent and drunk. For all existing door staff – no training is required. However, this too is coming under scrutiny and before long we could see such training becoming compulsory for all bouncers.
The mandatory training has been introduced after a number of high profile deaths and injuries in bars and nightclubs.
