Crowd managers Are required if your venue serves the public

Venues Open To The Public

Generally, crowd manager requirements apply to venues and businesses that serve the public only. This means that venues that do not serve the public, such as private social clubs or other meeting places, are exempt from this requirement.

In addition, the requirement to maintain a certified crowd manager on-site during operating hours applies specifically to established brick and mortar businesses of a particular type. Certain temporary venues, popups, or other non-permanent establishments or businesses may be subject to different regulatory requirements.
