What you need to know...
A safety certificate may be either:
- a general safety certificate which covers the use of the stand for viewing an activity, or a number of activities, specified in the certificate for an indefinite period which starts on a specific date; or
- a special safety certificate which covers the use of the stand for viewing a certain specified activity or activities on a certain specified occasion or occasions.
One certificate may cover more than one stand.
A person holding a general safety certificate must be responsible for the management of the ground. A person holding a special safety certificate must be responsible for the activity to be viewed from the stand on that occasion.
