The Guide provides detailed guidance to ground management, technical specialists

many spectators can be safely accommodated within a sports ground. It also provides
guidance on measures intended to improve safety at existing grounds, in terms of both
their design and safety management. Although it is not a definitive design guide it does
offer guidance on how to apply good practice in the design and management of new grounds
or newly constructed sections of grounds.
