This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to assess the nature and use of crowded places and existing security arrangements to identify report security vulnerabilities. Crowded places are sites and events open to use by large numbers of people on a predictable basis as defined in Australia’s Strategy for Protecting Crowded Places from Terrorism 2017 (Crowded Places Strategy). The unit includes conducting security audits following processes outlined in the Crowded Places Strategy.

Crowded places are sites and events open to use by large numbers of people on a predictable basis as defined in Australia’s Strategy for Protecting Crowded Places from Terrorism 2017 (Crowded Places Strategy). The unit includes conducting security audits following processes outlined in the Crowded Places Strategy. This unit is suitable for those using specialised knowledge to complete routine and non-routine tasks and using their own judgement to deal with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems. Legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply in some states and territories to the provision of advice on security solutions, strategies, protocols and procedures. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority. PLEASE COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND ACTIVITIES 1. Identify the URL where one could find the requirements of the Crowded Places Strategy associated with protecting crowded places from terrorism. _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 2.

Many Stakeholders are involved in crowded places, such as malls, museums, libraries, and national icons. It is essential that, in conducting preliminary assessment, one liaises thoroughly with the stakeholders. Can you explain the purpose for through liaison? What are the consequences of failing to have rigorous discussions with the stakeholders? And what additional information may stakeholders provide which would require one to modify their risk assessment of the crowded place? _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ CPPSEC4024 CPPSEC4024 CPPSEC4024 CPPSEC4024 ---- ASSESS SECURITY OF CROWDED PLACESASSESS SECURITY OF CROWDED PLACESASSESS SECURITY OF CROWDED PLACESASSESS SECURITY OF CROWDED PLACES Page 3 of 12 _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ 5.
