Protests
In many countries the right to peaceful assembly is protected by law, however, working in and around protests can present a unique safety challenge.
Protest environments can be dynamic and unpredictable. Risks may include large crowd density, crowd surges, counter-protests, aggressive individuals, road traffic hazards, and in some circumstances the presence of public order policing tactics or crowd control measures. Even peaceful events can escalate quickly due to external factors, misinformation, or environmental triggers.
