List of possible roles/responsibilities at an event; who is part of the “event organizers” team.
Chief Safety Steward (and Assistant Chief Safety Stewards)
- Provide a proactive, user friendly, program of safe controls and standards leading to the reduction of risk, to an acceptable degree, for competitors, course workers, event officials, and spectators.
- Provide observations/recommendations on paddock / grid arrangement & control. Brief subordinate safety stewards on their duties and the standards they are expected to achieve.
- Hold periodic reviews of key safety issues with event officials.
- Respond to all incidents and supervise incident clearance and completion of required documentation by the safety steward assigned to that area of responsibility.
- Verify that the insurance certificate has been issued for the event and is on site.
- Will patrol the site area other than the course including the grid area and the paddock, with specific responsibility for the area between the paddock and the course area.
- Ensure that provisions are in place supporting completion of waiver requirements. A functional waiver program is the responsibility of the Event Chairman. However, it is the responsibility of the Safety Steward to ensure that a functional waiver program is in place and fully operational. The safety steward staff will observe competitors and spectators to ensure they have completed the waiver requirements. Personnel observed without the event identification wristband will complete a waiver carried by the patrolling safety steward and be issued a wristband at that time.
