Taken from the Green Guide:
- Responsibility for the safety of spectators lies at all times with the ground management. The management will normally be either the owner or lessee of the ground, who may not necessarily be the promoter of the event.
- Ground management has the responsibility for ensuring that all safety personnel whether in-house or provided under contract are competent and, where not already qualified, have received sufficient training to carry out the duties and responsibilities assigned to them.
