The project’s concept is based on enhancing the implementation of the COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT called Good Practices to support the protection of public spaces through development of the integrated CBRN protection system for sports facilities, offering measures indicated in the document.

Those measures include:

• methodology and tools for vulnerability assessments; risks identification;
• development of security plan; training andjoint workshops of security staff with private and publics security agencies;
• recommendations for infrastructure improvement and equipment; procedures for prevention, detection, response and manage the consequences of CBRN attacks.

Moreover, the Safe Stadium project activities support two EU action plans:

1. the EU action plan on improving the protection of public spaces and
2. the EU Action Plan to enhance preparedness against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear security risks.

The aims of these plans meet the project’s objectives in the areas of increasing cross-sectoral preparedness for a terrorist attack against public spaces, which include development of cross -border, cross- sectoral cooperation and coordination mechanisms for first responders in the immediate response to terrorist attacks, including trainings, exercises and exchange of best practice and lessons learned; and in particular increasing preparedness – in cooperation with law enforcement – of operators of confined public spaces against CBRN threats.
