Revising standards
As part of the ICC’s commitment to being a learning and responsive organisation, the Minimum Standards for Safety and Security Management have been revised, together with the supporting checklists, after feedback from members and recent event experience.
The objective of this process has been to make the minimum standards documentation less ‘wordy’, more concise and focussed on safety and security development as we enter a post-COVID environment. The key changes are:
- Requiring production and inspection of venue safety and security documentation.
- Setting out the infrastructure that should be in place to secure a venue and the PMOA.
- Clarity on multi-agency partnership working that should be in place to manage BaU and criticality at venues.
- Emphasising the value of testing and exercising safety and security processes.
The ICC will support any Board that wishes to review their safety and security arrangements and processes as part of our commitment to excellence in staging cricket. This support for Boards and the development of their safety and security processes will be discussed at the next International Security Manager’s Forum that will be held ‘online’ on Monday, 18th December 2023, with the following agenda.
- Briefing on safety and security plan for the U19 Men’s World Cup to be staged in Sri Lanka in January 2024
- Update on the Senior Men’s T20 World Cup to be staged in the Caribbean and USA in June 2024
- Demonstration of a computer modelling tool for stadium crowd management that predicts the impact of potential mass casualty events.
- Updates and reflections in 2023
