Guidelines 45 documents on the shelf

The current authoritative stack for event medical directors, with what each document actually governs, its age, and what it replaced. Participant-focused sports-medicine documents are labeled — citing them for spectator care is the most common citation error in this field.

Core stack

The documents an event medical director should hold current:

  • NAEMSP 2021 + 2015
  • ACSM 2022
  • WHO 2015
  • FEMA IS-15.B
  • ANSI ES1.9-2020
  • UK Purple & Green Guides

White space — what does not exist

  • No US binding medical-provision ratios
  • No spectator-focused clinical standard
  • No dedicated pediatric mass-gathering policy
  • No US festival harm-reduction standard
  • No unified event medical / hostile-event integration standard
  • Even FIFA publishes no spectator staffing numbers — Art. 58 defers to national law + a medical risk assessment; deferral to national standards is the global norm

Watch list

  • UK Event Healthcare Standard (in development — the most consequential forthcoming document)
  • NFPA / ES1.x revision cycles
  • FIA Appendix H annual updates
  • Possible WHO 2015 successor
