Setting up the regulatory system, procedures, and compliance enforcement will still take some time, with a practical roll-out pencilled in for commencement sometime in early 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much has been written about the background to this new law and its importance, and I will not go over old ground. Here I\u2019d like to give security managers and those responsible for the safety of qualifying premises an indication of the top 10 areas they need to be considering to not only get a head start on legal compliance, but to ensure your sites are as safe as possible from the results of terrorist action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Establish Legal Obligation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the site\/event deemed small enough for Martyn\u2019s Law not to apply? That is to say, does it only hold a maximum of 199 persons?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where the Act applies, does the site qualify as a \u201cStandard Tier\u201d, ie, a 200 \u2013 799 person maximum site or event capacity?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>or \u201cEnhanced Tier\u201d for sites and events over 800 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If the TPPA2025 does not apply to your site due to the low capacity driven risk profile, please be aware that there may be nearby buildings or sites that may be at higher risk.<br>If this is the case, consider, understand, and take reasonable steps to mitigate the effect on your property or site of an incident taking place nearby. Consultation with other local businesses will have significant mutual benefits.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Should your venue or business fall in the \u201cStandard Tier\u201d category, the steps you will need to carry out are, on the whole, simple, basic and largely common sense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For \u201cEnhanced Tier\u201d sites or events, the Act requires somewhat more compliance activity from owners and management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>NB<\/em><\/strong><em>: For the full responsibilities of Standard and Enhanced Tier buildings or events, and the idea behind the creation of the legislation, please visit the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/martyns-law-the-sias-new-regulatory-role\/martyns-law-the-sias-new-regulatory-role\"><em>official government announcement<\/em><\/a><em>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guardpass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FINAL-GL-banners-1313-x-524px-66-1024x409.jpg\" alt=\"a security officer guarding a business premises\" class=\"wp-image-42518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.guardpass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FINAL-GL-banners-1313-x-524px-66-1024x409.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.guardpass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FINAL-GL-banners-1313-x-524px-66-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.guardpass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FINAL-GL-banners-1313-x-524px-66-768x306.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.guardpass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FINAL-GL-banners-1313-x-524px-66-200x80.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.guardpass.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/FINAL-GL-banners-1313-x-524px-66.jpg 1313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.
