Enhanced duty/enhanced tier

 (section 2(2), section 2(3) of the Act) The Act establishes a tiered approach for premises – the standard duty and the enhanced duty (also known as the standard and enhanced tiers). Enhanced tier premises are qualifying premises that can reasonably expect 800 or more individuals to be present at any one time, from time to time, for the purpose of a Schedule 1 use. See chapter 4 for the criteria to be in scope of the Act as qualifying premises (and paras. 4.35 to 4.39 for excluded premises and those subject to different thresholds). See chapter 5 for the criteria to be in scope of the Act as a qualifying event and chapter 8 on enhanced tier requirements.
