Martyn's Law - Standard Tier Premises
What Venues With A Capacity Of Fewer Than 800 People Need To Do
The public consultation on the scope of the Standard Tier is currently live, running until 18th March 2024 (23:59) and can be accessed HERE.
At this stage there is no formal legislation, and all assumptions are based upon the Draft legislation previously issued – the details of the legislation are therefore subject to change.
The Standard Tier applies to premises with a capacity of 100-799, who are expected to provide proportionate processes to respond to a terrorist attack.
The requirements for Standard Tier premises have been revised for the purposes of the public consultation, with premises likely being required to:
- Notify the Regulator that they are, or have become, responsible for premises within the scope of the Bill (and so subject to the relevant requirements).
- Have procedures in place that may be expected, so far as reasonably practicable, to reduce harm to the public and staff at the premises in the event of a terrorist attack.
- Including: evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and communication.
- It is not expected or required that physical alterations be undertaken, or additional equipment purchased for Standard Tier premises.
The exact requirements are set to change dependent upon results of the public consultation.
