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.
