Match-day control for grounds, arenas and race days
Stewards talk in a voice room for their zone, the safety officer follows the Monitoring board, and one text reaches every supporter who has joined the list.
The safety officer needs to know before a problem becomes an incident
It might be a queue that will not clear, pushing at a gate or a report from the stand. The Monitoring board follows the voice rooms and the public reports together and keeps a live situation summary, so the control room can see a problem building before anybody declares an incident.
Typical situations
Pressure at a gate
Gate stewards raise the problem on voice and supporters report it by text. The situation summary brings both together and says what is still unknown.
A pitch incursion
Pitch-side stewards hear about it straight away in their voice room, the control room sees it on the board, and the record shows the minute it happened.
Clearing a stand
In a partial evacuation, one stand is texted where to go, the rest of the ground is told to stay put, and the replies are counted as they arrive.
A live situation summary for the safety officer
The board shows the activity in every voice room minute by minute and the signals that need a decision. Its summary is written from what is being said and reported, and covers what is happening, what to be concerned about and what nobody knows yet.
