What are the tiers of Martyn's Law
Martyn’s Law: Standard Tier
Many locations will fall under the standard tier. For these venues, the focus is on simple, practical actions that help keep people safe if an incident occurs. That could include things like locking doors, closing shutters, identifying safe escape routes and ensuring staff know how to respond.
Martyn’s Law: Enhanced Tier
Larger venues and certain events will fall into the enhanced tier, where additional security measures will be expected to make sites harder targets for terrorism.
For example, organisations may need to introduce wider security monitoring, such as CCTV coverage across the venue and surrounding areas. They’ll also need to maintain clear records demonstrating how they’re meeting the requirements of Martyn’s Law and provide this information to the regulator if required.
For facility & security managers, Martyn’s Law brings a few practical challenges, including:
-
Understanding the legislation and determining what level of security is appropriate for each site
-
Managing resources, balancing new security requirements with existing budgets
Integrating security procedures into everyday operations without disrupting business activities
Eclipse can help navigate compliance through a combination of system design and management software solutions.

What does Martyn’s
Law require?
Martyn’s Law uses a tiered approach, meaning the requirements depend on the size and capacity of the venue.
However, there are five core areas organisations will need to address:
-
Risk assessment: carrying out a detailed review of the venue to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities.
-
Mitigation measures: putting appropriate safeguards in place, such as physical security improvements, staff training, and response procedures.
-
Security plan: developing a clear plan that outlines how the organisation will respond to different security scenarios.
-
Colleague training: ensuring staff understand security risks, can recognise potential threats, and know how to react in an emergency.
-
Record keeping: maintaining clear documentation of risk assessments, training, and security procedures.
