Safety
1) This regatta is a DBNSW accredited event and the club will appoint a Regatta
Safety Officer to advise the Chief Race Official on all matters relating to the
safety of participants, officials, spectators and others present at the venue. The
name of the Regatta Safety Officer will be advised at the Team Captains'
briefing at the commencement of racing. Adherence to safety-related
instructions from either the Regatta Safety Officer or the Chief Race Official is
mandatory
2) Nothing in (1) above:
a) removes the responsibility for Clubs to do all in their power to ensure the
safety of participants, officials, spectators and others present at the venue -
safety is everyone's responsibility; and
b) affects the right of Clubs and Steerers to adopt a more risk averse approach
to specific situations, nor does it affect the responsibilities of the steerer for
the safety of his or her crew.
