The eGuide was developed by authorised professionals from UK event venues and its status is similar to that of an approved code of practice.

The objective of the eGuide is to provide clear and straightforward guidance for achieving common standards of health, safety, operational planning, management and on-site conduct across UK event venues, whilst ensuring compliance with building regulations and health and safety legislation.
