Safety at Sports Grounds
What is it?
The Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975 and the Fire Safety and Safety of Places of Sport Act 1987, require certain sports grounds to apply to the local authority for a 'safety certificate'.

Generally this means sports grounds with a capacity for more than 10,000 spectators (designated stadium), or stands in sports grounds providing covered accommodation for more than 500 spectators (regulated stand).

Information about safety at sports' grounds
Building Standards and Public Safety, along with Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue and the Scottish Ambulance Service make up Glasgow City Council's Safety Team for Sports Grounds. The Safety Team provides guidance to the managers of sports grounds to assist them in the assessment of how many spectators can be safely accommodated within a sports ground.

This is an ongoing process as sports grounds, like all other buildings, are subject to alteration and extension, particularly as sports grounds now also offer access for hospitality, conferences and use of the pitch area for non-sporting events.

Guidance on the safety of spectators at sports grounds can be found in the 'Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds', fifth edition, published by the Stationery Office.

The Service is always willing to offer advice to anyone involved in determining a safe capacity for a sports ground. Should you have any cause for concern about safety of spectators attending a sports ground, you should contact the management of the sports ground in the first instance.

Overview
This guidance is for the sport and leisure sector. It comes into effect from 24 August 2020 or earlier if possible subject to further review and extends until further notice. Guidance will be reviewed on a regular basis as our priority remains containing the spread of the virus, saving lives and safeguarding the NHS. Therefore, restrictions may be reintroduced, and approval may be withdrawn if circumstances change either nationally or locally.

The Scottish Government is keen to build confidence and create the right environment for supporting safer work as we continue to live with COVID-19.

We have worked with employers, facility operators and trade unions from the sport and leisure sector to ensure that this guidance is evidence-based, fair and ethical, clear and realistic. As each workplace is different it is for individual businesses to work with trade union or workforce representatives to determine how best to apply this guidance in their circumstances.

This guide is underpinned by a spirit of collaborative working between sport and gym/leisure facility operators, clubs, community organisations, companies, charities or clubs and other sport and gym/leisure facility operators and their workforce. Throughout this guidance the term facility operators, trade union or workforce representatives is used in that context, recognising that operators have a legal responsibility to maintain workplace health and safety and must consult with the health and safety representative selected by a recognised trade union or, if there is not one, a representative chosen by workers. Facility operators cannot decide who the workforce representative will be.

This document is one of a set of documents about how to work safely in different types of workplace. It offers guidance on how to work, operate and participate in sport and gym/leisure facilities in Scotland. It sets out our expectations on what operators of all sizes and sub-sectors need to consider as part of their planning for restart. The guidance emphasises the importance of undertaking a robust and ongoing risk-based assessment with full input from trade union or workforce representatives, and to keep all risk mitigation measures under regular review so that workplaces continue to feel, and be, safe.

Publication of this guidance does not signal an immediate change in Scotland’s lockdown policy. A second surge in infection would cause further harm to our health, society and economy. To judge whether and when restrictions can be changed we will consider a range of evidence on the progress of the pandemic in Scotland, using the principles set out in Coronavirus (COVID-19): framework for decision making and our long-established commitment to fair work, which was set in the context of the current crisis in a joint statement with the STUC (which we have taken into account when developing this guidance).

The remainder of this guidance sets out our minimum expectations across three key areas employers and facility operators will need to consider as part of their planning for a restart of facilities while minimising the transmission of the virus:

assessing risk - involving the workforce in a risk-based approach to a safer workplace for both staff, customers and participants
workforce planning - supporting those who should come to work, and those who should not
operational guide and checklist - changing the environment to protect your workforce, customers and participants
The regulator for health and safety at work is the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) who will utilise the powers under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to ensure people at work or possibly enforcement of this legislation is undertaken by Environmental Health and Trading Standards local authority staff in agreement with Police Scotland.

The guidance has been published now to give employers and employees the time they need to plan and prepare.

This is provided as guidance only and does not amount to legal advice. Employers and facility operators may wish to seek their own advice to ensure compliance with all legal requirements.

The Safe Sport Act requires sports organizations to establish reasonable procedures to limit one-on-one interactions between an adult and an amateur athlete who is a minor…without being in an observable and interruptible distance from another adult. Additional Requirements for National Governing Body Organizations and Paralympic Sports

The guidance is designed to counter accusations that health and safety requirements on clubs are onerous by making clear what a club's responsibilities are. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the regulations made under it, apply to club organisers who are both employers and self-employed.
