The Risk Landscape

Four areas of exposure created by the Act.

01

Personal

SIA investigations, interviews under caution, enforcement notices, negligence allegations, suspension, loss of earnings and defence costs for the named senior individual.

02

Organisational

Regulatory investigations, enforcement notices, civil liability claims, legal defence costs, business interruption and reputational damage.

03

Event

Crowd management failures, security breaches, terrorism incidents, cancellation or abandonment, evacuation costs and reduced attendance after an incident.

04

Contractor & volunteer

Bag search personnel, stewards, crowd control teams, marshals and first aiders — their failures expose the organiser to legal action and scrutiny.
