Questions

Sicherheitskonzept for Events: what people ask

When do I need a Sicherheitskonzept?

In Bavaria, when the type of event calls for it, the operator must set up a safety concept and a stewarding service. Venues with more than 5,000 visitor places always need one, agreed with the police, fire service and rescue services. Rules in other states can differ.

What goes in the concept?

At least the minimum number of stewards, scaled by visitor numbers and risk levels, the operational safety measures, and the general and special safety announcements.

What are the stewards responsible for?

Under an appointed steward leader, they carry out the operational safety measures, in particular checks at entrances, exits and visitor blocks, keeping to the maximum visitor number and seating layout, safety announcements, and orderly evacuation in an emergency.
