Who it is for
Visitor attractions and museums
A building designed to admit as many people as possible, often old, often listed, usually with a café and a shop attached that nobody thinks of as separate businesses.
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 the number the whole visitor operation is designed around, which puts most attractions inside a tier without much argument.
- Historic fabric brings asbestos and fire constraints that a modern building does not, and alterations are slower to make when the structure is protected.
- The café and the shop carry food hygiene and licensing duties in their own right, and they are usually run by people whose job title says nothing about either.
- Seasonal and volunteer staff need the same procedure acknowledgements as anyone else, without an account each.
- Event hire changes the duty set for a night — a wedding in the great hall is not the same premises as a Tuesday afternoon.
