General Information
Overview
EN 13200-8:2017 is the CEN European Standard that specifies general characteristics of safety management for spectator facilities (stadiums, arenas, theatres, temporary stands). It defines the layout and planning of safety management and the criteria to maintain that planning before, during and after events. The standard focuses on safety personnel, safety policy and safety procedures and is intended to support consistent, auditable safety practices across European spectator venues. It does not define roles or responsibilities for police or private security companies.
Key Topics
- Safety personnel - roles and responsibilities for Senior Management, Safety Officers, Supervisors, Senior Stewards and Stewards (competence, supervision and typical functions).
- Safety policy - development of a territorial plan, spectator facilities plan, risk assessment approach and an overarching management plan to meet licence or certification requirements.
- Safety procedures for events - pre-event planning, checks and controls, event-day operations, and post-event evaluation.
- Operational documents and tools - content and use of an Operations Manual, Management Plan, Emergency Plan, Evacuation Plan, Contingency Plans, Medical Plan and Traffic Management Plan.
- Control and coordination - role of the event control room, communications strategy and the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) as a forum for venue managers, local authorities and emergency services.
- Ancillary guidance - annexes covering operations manual content, briefing/de-briefing scripts, safety personnel provisions, steward equipment and territorial/spectator facility plans.
Practical Applications
Who uses EN 13200-8:2017 and how:
- Facility managers and owners - to structure safety management systems and ensure operational readiness and compliance with licences.
- Event organisers and promoters - to produce event-specific management plans, stewarding and medical arrangements.
- Safety Officers and Supervisors - for role definitions, briefing content and incident response procedures.
- Local authorities and emergency planners - as a common reference when participating in SAG meetings and reviewing venue preparedness.
- Designers and consultants - to align operational requirements with facility layout, circulation and capacity management.
This standard helps organisations reduce crowd risk, streamline emergency response, and document auditable safety processes for all event sizes.

— maintenance/engineering; — cleaning staff. Senior management shall produce risks assessments for the usual activities, incidents, hazards and existing control measures expected to take place at the spectator facilities concerned. Each event or fixture held at the spectator facility shall be subjected to an event specific risk assessment; the risk assessment shall be recorded as part of the event day records and audit trail. Risk assessments are only valid at the time the competent person undertakes them. Incidents and circumstances may arise during an event that may alter the previously identified hazards and risks. It is therefore important that the event safety officer is able to undertake (or oversee) a dynamic assessment SIST EN 13200-8:2017
