New Guidance Published
Safety management at sports grounds has steadily become more sophisticated and more professional over the past twenty years. “Safety Management” the latest publication in the Football Licensing Authority’s series of Sports Grounds and Stadia Guides identifies and draws together good practice on safety personnel, safety management procedures, event management and preparing for incidents.
The guidance complements and expands on the advice on safety management in the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds. It updates and brings together into a single publication previous guidance on spectator safety policies, contingency planning, exercise planning and briefing, as well as providing new detailed guidance to assist ground management in developing operation manuals, stewarding plans and medical plans.
This publication will provide an invaluable source of information to ground management, safety advisors and other interested agencies involved with the safety management of all stadia and sports grounds
While some of the advice contained in the guidance is specific to football, most of it applies to all stadia events as well as being relevant to all sports grounds including those, such as horseracing and golf, where spectators are more ambulatory.
The guide is available from the FLA and can either be purchased online or via the post. For more details visit:
