Review barrier layout immediately to comply with Green Guide criteria
Recommendation
The layout of barriers in each pen or terraced area should be reviewed immediately (if this has not already been done following the Interim Report) to ensure that it complies with the criteria contained in Chapter 9 of the Green Guide. If it does not, the assessment of the maximum capacity figure for that pen or terraced area, in accordance with Recommendation 8 above, should reflect the fact.
Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
According to the Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) through its Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (the Green Guide), the layout of barriers and other safety measures in sports grounds is continuously regulated. The Green Guide, last updated to its 6th edition in 2018, provides detailed criteria for safety, including barrier design and capacity assessment, which local authorities and clubs must follow under the Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975.
