Summary:
‘This book is a delight, an Aladdin’s cave of golden nuggets that one day might prove life saving. I wish it had been in print when I first started the doors.’ Geoff Thompson, veteran ex-Door Man and best selling author





Safe on the Door: The Complete Guide for Door Supervisors is the ultimate training manual for door supervisors. Whether new to the job or working the door for years, this book offers a unique insight into conflict management for every supervisor.



Written in plain English, Safe on the Door offers a variety of unique and effective methods combined with proven mental conditioning, while also analysing the constraints of the law and your own inner fears.
