The Showstop® Procedure: A Recognised Standard for Emergency Intervention
The Showstop Procedure course is the only internationally accredited training programme specific to the Showstop function.
Protected by registered trademarks, the Showstop methodology maintains a consistent, robust standard that cannot be diluted or replicated.
Developed by the crowd management specialists who pioneered the Showstop Procedure and informed by extensive expert witness experience in high-profile post-incident cases, the course reflects real-world failure modes and regulatory forensic scrutiny. With over 600 practitioners trained worldwide already, Showstop is a proven, recognised approach applied at scale.
While organisers may adopt alternative arrangements, the Showstop Procedure provides the clearest and most defensible route to evidencing competence in life-safety decision-making during a performance. Without equivalent accredited training, competence assurance is inherently more informal and harder to defend.
Award-winning and internationally accredited, the Showstop Procedure is an emergency intervention framework that equips venues, events, and safety leaders with a clear, authoritative process to recognise escalation triggers, communicate effectively, and intervene decisively when safety thresholds are breached or threats to life safety emerge.
Designed for fast-moving, high-risk environments, Showstop strengthens organisational duty of care and supports confident, defensible decision-making when it matters most.
“The Showstop Procedure course has enabled us to reduce the response time to seconds rather than minutes”

Great course content, very well delivered.
A very informative course that should be mandatory to any individual that is part of the Showstop group. Definitely recommend this course to colleagues.
Excellent course, with great in depth knowledge. Serious about safety? This course is a must.
This has been the most interesting course I have attended since joining the event industry! I don’t think I have ever enjoyed a course so much!
This was an excellent course that will hopefully go some way in mitigating risk to events, through consistency of training and mutual understanding of threats and risk.
This training reminds us that courage and clarity must coexist – because together they save lives.
This is an essential course for anyone involved with planning, preparing and holding responsibility of any event. It helps the industry, particularly the safety of spectators attending any event automatically improve, share and evidence best practice, as well as ensuring a co-ordinated approach for safe events.
Course was excellent. Content was excellent. Will make events safer and save lives.
This has been one of if not the best course I have been on. The knowledge, experience and belief from Steve about the content etc. is top class.
