Use the safety plan checks to find missing information and points that need attention before you share a draft.

Open the checks

Open Safety plan, then Checks in the eight-step progress strip. The summary separates Meets guideline, Missing information and Shortages. Open the items below it to understand the result. Create a safety plan.

Guideline checks beside a fictional festival, including missing exit width and a toilet shortage

These are planning guidelines, not a complete safety assessment or a permit. A green result does not establish that your event is safe or approved. Check the requirements that apply to your event with the responsible authorities and advisors.

What each result means

Result Your next action
Meets guideline Check that the drawing and entered values reflect the actual event
Missing information Enter the missing value or correct the drawing before relying on the check
Shortages Review the displayed comparison and adjust the layout or arrangements

A missing value is not zero and is not a pass. For example, a drawn emergency-exit symbol does not establish its usable clear width.

What comes from the drawing

Object counts, public-area geometry, route geometry and available dimensions come from your event plan. Visitor numbers, staffing and other arrangements come from your answers. Check both sources if the result surprises you.

Check What to inspect
Public-area and tent capacity Correct area boundaries, net usable space and the visitor number used for the comparison
Toilets, first aid and fire extinguishers Relevant object types and their actual quantities and locations
Security staff The entered staffing and visitor numbers
Emergency exits Individual usable widths and valid locations, not the size of the symbol
Emergency routes Valid route geometry and usable width, not just the thickness of a drawn line
Food-truck distances Energy type, neighbouring objects, dimensions and reliable positions

Object rows can affect counts. A row of emergency-exit symbols does not supply individually checked clear widths. Use individual exits and verify each measurement. Object rows.

Fix a point and check again

  1. Read the check description, the value from your plan and the reference shown beside it. Use View calculation when offered.
  2. Choose the relevant action, such as Place toilets, Adjust food truck or Enter measurements and details.
  3. If you go to object selection, choose the appropriate type. All objects returns to the full catalog when suggestions are shown.
  4. Correct and save the drawing or answers, then return to Safety plan and Checks.
  5. Create a new document version if a previously generated document is now outdated.

Measurements entered in the checks do not resize objects or change the drawing. If you change an exit's width in its drawing details, save the drawing too. Do not confuse the two places where a measurement can be recorded.

Unknown distances or geometry

When positions, footprints or route geometry are incomplete, the module can report missing information instead of a reliable distance. Check the affected object, tent area or bulk placement. Redraw invalid geometry when needed. Do not treat an unavailable measurement as a safe clearance.

What good looks like

Every result is based on current drawing data and checked answers. Open points are either resolved or clearly documented for review. Your latest draft is generated after those changes and still receives a human review.

Watch: resolve a missing measurement

Follow the check to the measurement fields, enter a verified width, and wait for the saved status. This updates the safety answers, not the physical size of the symbol.
