SIA Door Physical Intervention & Conflict Management 2

Question 1

What is 'dynamic risk assessment' in a conflict situation?

Accepted Answer

Continuously evaluating the threat and adjusting response accordingly

Answer

Dynamic risk assessment is an ongoing mental process during a conflict where the door supervisor constantly re-evaluates the threat level and adapts their response in real time.

Question 2

When is physical intervention legally justified for a door supervisor?

Accepted Answer

When de-escalation has failed and force is necessary to protect safety

Answer

Physical intervention is only justified as a last resort when verbal de-escalation has failed and force is necessary to prevent harm, and even then must be proportionate.

Question 3

Which physical intervention technique should door supervisors prioritise when removing an uncooperative person?

Accepted Answer

Escort holds that minimise injury risk

Answer

Escort holds allow controlled movement of a person while minimising injury risk to all parties; dangerous techniques like choke holds are prohibited and could cause serious harm.

Question 4

What is 'positional asphyxia' and why must door supervisors be aware of it?

Accepted Answer

A potentially fatal condition caused by body position restricting breathing during restraint

Answer

Positional asphyxia occurs when a person's body position prevents adequate breathing, often during restraint face-down; it can be fatal and door supervisors must avoid positions that restrict breathing.

Question 5

After a physical intervention, what is the first action a door supervisor should take?

Accepted Answer

Check the welfare of all parties and call emergency services if needed

Answer

Immediate welfare checks ensure no one has been injured; if medical assistance is needed, emergency services must be called without delay as a duty of care.
