This one-day virtual training course, from the Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA), will develop your understanding of the calculation of safe capacities using the social/physical distancing guidance, as set out in SG02: Planning for Social Distancing at Sports Grounds.

As well as an overview of the key principles of safe capacities you will have the opportunity to practise calculations of COVID-19 capacities under the tutelage of the author of SG02, and SGSA’s Head of Inspectorate, Ken Scott, supported by SGSA colleagues. There will be opportunity for questions and discussion.

At the end of the course, you will have the knowledge on how to apply the principles to your own venue.

This training is suitable for venue owners, operators, safety officers or those involved in setting the safe capacity of a venue.
