3. Accreditation, invitations and access control.
4. VIP, technical, logistical and reserved areas.
5. Waiting lines and separation of movements.
6. Positions, schedules, rotations and managers.
7. Radios, phones and passwords are operational.
8. Coordination with emergency and competent authorities.
9. Incident procedure, escalation and traceability.
10. Briefing before opening and debriefing after closing.

The final security arrangement must remain proportionate to the context, use, identified risks and site rules.
