Who it applies to

Potentially applies to qualifying premises where 200 or more people can reasonably be expected to be present at the same time, and qualifying events with 800 or more. Assess qualifying use, exclusions and other statutory conditions. Ground capacity alone does not determine applicability.

Key dates

  • Expected to come into force in spring 2027. Confirm commencement arrangements before treating duties as operational.

Evidence clubs typically keep

  • Evacuation, invacuation and lockdown procedures
  • Staff training and drill logs
  • SIA registration
