Requirements
Medical cover to Berlin requirements
In Berlin, licensing authorities usually follow the guidance sheet of the Berlin Fire Brigade. This is how the staffing is calculated:
From 500 guests
From 500 people present at the same time, medical cover is usually required. Below that it is not mandatory, but often sensible.
Calculated by points
Visitor numbers, the type of event and particular risks add up to a score. The score determines the staffing, which you can estimate in advance with our calculator.
Coordinated with the fire brigade
From 6 points, above 3,000 people present or where there is a particular risk, the staffing is coordinated with the Berlin Fire Brigade. We prepare the medical cover plan for this.
