Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds
A guide to spectator safety issues at sports grounds
The FLA on behalf of DCMS has published the fifth edition of The Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (also known as the 'green guide) and a summary of the new guidance which update the previous edition.
The guide covers the management, design, scrutiny and certification of sports grounds and is aimed at helping achieve a common goal of safety, comfort and welfare of all spectators at sports grounds at all times and in all situations, including non-sporting events. Green Guide principles are expected to be applied by local authorities and sports grounds management across the board in addressing safety considerations at sports grounds.
