About this course

Commonly referred to as the ‘Pit’, the Front of Stage Safety Barrier is used to form a gap (the pit), between the audience and the front of the stage.  Mission Training offers a comprehensive Front of Stage Safety Barrier training course to develop the knowledge, understanding, skills and safety awareness of working within a pit barrier.

This course has been developed for security and stewarding personnel working at live music events with particular emphasis within the pit barrier, there is a demand for such training as there is a clear need to improve crowd safety to ensure the enjoyment of the crowd and provide peace of mind for performers, promoters and venues.
