The Green Guide Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds 6th Edition
November 1, 2018 The sixth edition of the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds, also known as the Green Guide, is now available to purchase. The Green Guide helps sports grounds owners and operators calculate a safe capacity for their venue. It is used around the world by architects and designers as a best practice guide for the development and refurbishment of stadiums. The new sixth edition offers the latest expert advice and technical specifications on ensuring a safe environment for spectators.
SG02 Planning for Social Distancing at Sports Grounds
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on sport. I am proud of the work that the
Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) and others have done to enable the resumption of football and other sports behind closed doors, but we long for the day that fans can return to our sports grounds and safely enjoy the experience of live sport again. It’s literally the reason we exist.
The SGSA also recognises the immense pressures that sports grounds and clubs, their owners,
staff, players and supporters have faced, and continue to face in light of the pandemic. We know
that many sports will not have the ability to resume without the revenues from ticket sales and
concessions.
Supplementary Guidance 03: Event Safety Management
SG03: Event Safety Management provides a comprehensive overview of the planning and delivery of safe events.
The core elements of event safety management are brought together in this document, including management responsibilities, conducting risk assessments and developing an Operations Manual. Importantly, it builds on ideas and concepts within the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (Green Guide), for example Zone Ex.

Alternative Uses Of Sports Grounds
Alternative Uses of Sports Grounds provides much needed advice for sports grounds hosting concerts, religious gatherings and other events that differ from the usual sporting events held at a ground. As artists and promoters seek to reach a wider fan base, sports grounds are increasingly viewed as ideal concert venues as they have excellent facilities, are able to hold large numbers and are experienced in managing crowds
