What the law asks of a standard-tier venue

If 200 to 799 people can be at your premises at once, you will need to do two things. No new equipment, no security guards.

Evacuation

How you move people out safely.

Invacuation

How you move people to a safer place inside.

Lockdown

How you secure the building to stop people entering or leaving.

Communication

How you alert people and tell them what to do.

Plus: tell the Security Industry Authority (SIA) that you are responsible for the premises. The details and deadlines will be set in regulations.

Procedures should be in place “so far as reasonably practicable”: proportionate to your venue, weighing how well they work against the cost, time and effort.

How it works

  1. 1

    Answer questions about your building

    Doors, safer rooms, who's in charge, how you alert people. One question at a time, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Get your procedures, written for you

    Instant, clear step-by-step documents using your own door names, rooms and roles. Edit anything.

  3. 3

    Brief staff and keep records

    Log who's been briefed, record drills, and get a yearly review reminder. Download your evidence pack.
