Who it is for
Festivals and outdoor events
The whole premises is temporary, the workforce is casual, and the entire compliance record has to be assembled and provable inside a fortnight either side of the event.
What usually applies
A starting point, not a determination. Which of these actually lands on your register depends on the building and how it is used, which is what the applicability questions are for.

What tends to matter here
- Capacity is a licence condition and a public protection question at the same time, from the same number.
- Temporary electrical distribution, staging and rigging bring inspection and examination duties that a permanent venue spreads across a year and an event compresses into days.
- Traders and contractors arrive with their own certificates, and collecting them by link before the gates open is the difference between a file and a scramble.
- A casual and volunteer workforce needs briefing records without accounts — this is the sector that problem was designed around.
- The pack has to be buildable during the event, not after everyone has gone home.
