A sandwich detector composed of scintillator and steel-covered lead layers was introduced in the fixed-target COMPASS experiment at CERN for vetoing events not completely covered by the two-stage magnetic spectrometer. Wavelength shifting fibres glued into grooves in the scintillator tiles serve for fast read-out. Minimum ionizing particles impinging on the $2 \textrm{m} \times 2 \textrm{m}$ detector outside of a central hole, sparing the spectrometer's entry, are detected with a probability of 98%. The response to charged particles and photons is modeled in detail in Monte Carlo calculations. Figures of merit of the veto trigger in $190 \textrm{GeV}/c$ $\pi^- + p$ (or nucleus) experiments are an enrichment of exclusive events in the recorded data by a factor of 3.5 and a false-veto probability of 1%.
