Product Information

Although many smaller premises won’t fall under the legal requirements of Martyn’s Law (The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025), helping your customers to protect their staff, customers and visitors is always good practice.

If your customers manage a smaller venue with an expected capacity of fewer than 200 people, they aren’t currently legally required to implement the measures set out in the Act. Regardless, many organisations are already taking simple steps to improve their emergency preparedness and strengthen their overall security.

Smaller premises may include:

✓ Independent retailers

✓ Cafés, pubs and restaurants

✓ GP surgeries and dental practices

✓ Pharmacies and healthcare clinics

✓ Nurseries and small schools

✓ Community halls

✓ Offices and shared workspaces

✓ Leisure facilities

✓ Visitor centres and small galleries

Simple Measures Can Make a Big Difference

Being able to quickly alert staff, notify visitors or manage access to your premises is essential in an emergency. The right technology can help your customers respond more effectively and provide reassurance to everyone on site.

Visual Emergency Notifications

Algo 8138
SIP Visual Alerter

Preparedness Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

Martyn’s Law is about having practical procedures that help keep people safe.

Even if your customers’ premises aren’t legally required to comply, reviewing how they would communicate during an emergency, control access to their building and alert occupants can form part of a sensible business continuity and safety plan.

Many organisations are choosing to adopt these measures now, helping improve confidence among staff and visitors while building resilience for the future.

Are Your Customers Ready for the Standard Tier Requirements in Martyn’s Law?

Martyn’s Law is changing how organisations across the UK prepare for emergencies.

Martyn’s Law: The Standard Tier Requirements

If your customers’ premises can reasonably expect 200-799 people (including staff) on site at any one time, you are likely to fall within the Standard Tier requirements of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act.

This applies to more organisations than many realise, including:

✓ Smaller schools & academies

✓ GP surgeries & healthcare hubs

✓ Dental practices & clinics

✓ Community centres

✓ Libraries

✓ Places of worship

✓ Museums & art galleries

✓ Small theatres & entertainment venues

✓ Leisure facilities

✓ Conference & event spaces

✓ Hotels

What Does This Mean For Your Customers?

Martyn’s Law is about ensuring your organisation has practical procedures in place to help protect staff and visitors should a terrorist incident occur.

Standard Tier premises are expected to have procedures covering:

✓ Evacuation

✓ Lockdown

✓ Moving people to safer areas

✓ Communicating quickly and clearly during an incident

The key word throughout the legislation is preparedness. Having the ability to communicate instantly across your site, control access to buildings and provide clear instructions can make a significant difference during an emergency.Tech That Supports Your Customers’ PreparednessWhile every site is different, reliable communication and access control are central to an effective response.

Enhance Your Customers’ Existing Infrastructure

One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding Martyn’s Law is that compliance requires replacing existing systems.
In reality, many organisations can enhance their existing telephony, access control and paging infrastructure with IP-based technologies that integrate with their current network, allowing them to improve preparedness without unnecessary complexity.

Start Preparing Today

Although Martyn’s Law is not expected to come into force until 2027, now is the ideal time to review your site’s emergency communication strategy.

Ask your customers:

Could you communicate with everyone on site within seconds?
Can you quickly initiate a lockdown if required?
Are visitors and staff able to receive clear instructions wherever they are?
Do your entry systems support secure access and visitor verification?
Would your teams know exactly what to do during a major incident?

If the answer to any of these is “not yet”, now is the perfect opportunity to start planning.
