The Football Safety Officers Association was formed in 1992 as a consequence of the Taylor Report into the Hillsborough Stadium Disaster. Twenty-eight safety officers attended and determined the Association’s aims to be:
‘Improving safety at football grounds by enhancing the role of safety management and the status of the safety officer within the football industry. The Association intends to achieve this by promulgating best safety management practices, enhancing the role of stewards and continually developing the expertise of safety officers’.
From that inaugural meeting the FSOA membership now stands at over 300 members. English and Welsh Premier and Football League Clubs are represented, as are many of the lower football leagues.
