Feature Measures
While many large stadia will already have good anti-terrorism and security measures in place, those responsible for managing property and protecting people will almost certainly need to upgrade their practices and better protect facilities. In short, they need to consider the measures and procedures they will need to have in place. They may not always understand what is required and need to be clear themselves about how do I want to comply with Martyn’s Law and the help that’s available out there in the market place to ensure they arrive at the right solution to ensure compliance.
It will generally be the occupier of the stadium and related surrounding facilities who are responsible for these duties. However, for some stadia/concessions where rents are paid, it will the be actual owners responsible for security in the common-use areas, while the tenants will be responsible for their individual units. It may be that a large individual unit like a megastore or fan-zone area is subject to standard duties, but these sites as a whole are subject to enhanced duties. Owners and tenants will need to cooperate to ensure that these new requirements are met.
So where to begin for stadia management? The principles of counter terrorism protect and prepare should be adopted by venues and organisations of any size to ensure communities are safeguarded. A good start is a review of your premises classification and occupancy. This can be followed by identifying your responsible person(s) and initiating some planning emergency messaging and communication protocols before moving on to train staff and test procedures. Check whether existing systems can deliver alerts quickly, clearly, and site-wide. Formulating plans and procedures should also focus on how to direct people towards the most appropriate locations, how your site can lockdown and provide refuge for those on-site and an effective mechanism to communicate quickly and effectively with the appropriate people on the site.
Unified Strategy
Developing a comprehensive approach to emergency communication will ensure compliance with ‘Martyn's Law’ while benefiting from a robust solution that supports your operations. Unified IP-based systems, when deployed strategically, support compliance and ensure that safety, experience, and operational continuity
coexist even in the most high-pressure safety
and security environments. The goal for stadia owners and operators is to ensure property and people are safe and secure as possible without limitations on freedom and liberty. Physical security can only go so far in fulfilling this, but when it works hand in hand with a unified tech strategy, the chances of things running smoothly are always heightened.
