Part 1: Public Protection Requirements Requirements: sections 5 to 11 Section 5: Public protection procedures
Subsection (1) of this section requires that a person responsible for qualifying premises or a qualifying event must, to the extent that it is reasonably practicable to do so, put in place appropriate public protection procedures for the premises or the event in order to reduce the risk of physical harm being caused to individuals in the event of an attack at the premises or in the immediate vicinity.
	As part of the requirement to put in place such procedures the person must ensure that the individuals working at the premises are aware of the procedures and are ready to put them into practice if needed.
	Subsection (3) provides an exhaustive list of the procedures to be implemented at the premises (including premises where an event is to be held):
procedures for evacuating individuals from the premises;
procedures for moving individuals to a place where there is less risk of physical harm (i.e. invacuating) e.g. moving individuals away from windows and to a designated safe area;
procedures for preventing individuals leaving or entering the premises (i.e. locking down or securing the premises);
procedures for providing information to those at the premises.
	In determining whether it is appropriate and reasonably practicable to put in place particular procedures, regard should be had to all relevant circumstances surrounding the premises; including the physical nature of the premises and the resources available to the person who is responsible for them.
