Accepted Answer

Ticket collectors typically do not require a specialized license to perform their duties, unlike forklift operators, electricians, and riggers, who often need specific certifications or licenses due to the technical, safety, and regulatory requirements of their jobs.

Question 9

Infrastructure does NOT include:&#10;A) Fencing&#10;B) Toilets&#10;C) Seating&#10;D) Public transport

Accepted Answer

Infrastructure includes physical and organizational structures and facilities needed for the operation of a society or enterprise. Fencing, toilets, and seating are considered part of infrastructure as they are essential facilities for various spaces like parks, public areas, or event venues. Public transport, however, is a type of infrastructure itself, making the question's phrasing a bit misleading. However, in the context of being part of a broader infrastructure (like within a specific facility), public transport would not be considered an "included" element like the others, which are components of larger infrastructural systems.

Accepted Answer

An event operations manual should include risk and emergency management planning to ensure the safety and security of the event, attendees, and staff. This is a critical component for effective event management, addressing potential risks and outlining procedures for emergencies.
