Safety recommendations made by Mr. Peter Whyte on behalf of:

Liability Adjusting Services Ltd. 

1.      That transporters be removed from the the track to the pits area and that straw bales be used where necessary as a means of preventing cars going too near to the crowds.

2.      Where possible, move back the crowds from corners and preferably do not have spectators at the ends of tracks.

3.      In order to prevent a spectator from making a claim for injury from tripping or some such accident, that officials should walk through the spectator area in order to check for stones, broken glass, holes, etc. If any danger areas are found such as drains, holes, they should be cordoned off and marked to warn spectators.

4.      As a precautionary measure, photographs should be taken of the set up of the track and retained as a means of evidence should a claim arise at some future date.

5.      All chip wagons, etc., should be asked for a copy of their Public Liability Insurance cover to ensure that they have cover, due to risk of explosion of gas cylinders.

6.      Adequate advance warning signs should be erected approximately 100 metres on either side of the entrance to the track, to warn traffic. 

7.      At the end of racing, an Official should be in attendance at the gate to direct traffic on to the road. 

8.      Any clay or debris taken onto the road by cars should be cleaned off the road to prevent any claims by cars skidding on any such debris. 

9.      The responsibility of the club does not end until such time as all cars and people have departed from the field.
