1 SAFETY PLAN HUNTINGDON GREAT OUSE MARATHON 12 JULY 2015 Author: Gary Aldam (Race Organiser) Date: 27 June AUTHORISATION The event is an official Hasler race authorised by the British Canoeing Marathon Racing Committee (MRC) 2. RACE ORGANISING TEAM KEY PERSONNEL The club will appoint 1. Race Organiser Gary Aldam (BSCC Committee Member) 2. Safety Coordinator David Cayford (BSCC Safety Officer) 3. First Aid Coordinator Deborah Cayford 4. Welfare Officer Gary Aldam The Safety Coordinator will have final approval of the safety arrangements. He will be assisted by the two members of the organising committee (including the Race Organiser) have attended the British Canoeing Event Safety Management Workshop. The Race Organiser will appoint An acting Race Organiser / Safety Coordinator / First Aid Coordinator as required to take on each or any of those roles for periods when the nominated person is away from the Riverside Park Marshals at key points on the bank at the start finish points, turns and portages Safety boats (canoes/kayaks) at the start, Lightning turn and following the Lightning races 3. RISK ASSESSMENT A risk assessment has been prepared which covers activities on land and water and the impact on other river users and members of the public. 4. WELFARE The club has a Child Protection and Vulnerable Adults Policy overseen by the club Welfare Officer. If the Club Welfare Officer is not available to be the Welfare representative on the day, another club member who has been on the BC Time to Listen course will act as Welfare Officer for the event. Their contact details will be published as part of the race details. Many of the Marshals and other staff involved in the event are also Coaches and as such hold current CRB/DBS checks. However, the nature of the race means that no individuals should need to be alone with children or vulnerable adults. 5. INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION PARTICIPANTS Race details, Risk Assessment and Safety Plan to be published on the club website submitted to the BC Marathon Race Committee, Environment Agency, Huntingdon CC Safety Advisory Group in good time before the race displayed for inspection by all on the day Page 1
2 Specific written instructions will be prepared for the marshals and safety boats including special attention to the Accident and Emergency Action Plan A race briefing will be held on the day to highlight the key points for competitors including any last minute issues A marshals briefing will be held on the day to highlight the key points for marshals and safety boats including any last minute issues PUBLIC Warning notices will be sent electronically to all known stakeholders river operating on this stretch of river: All known marinas and fishing clubs, Houghton Mill, Great Ouse Boating Association and StanJay fishing tackle shop. Where appropriate, a warning poster for display will be enclosed. The Environment Agency River Inspector will also be sent posters for display at locks 6. RACE ENTRIES A sheet of race details are distributed to racing clubs across the region by direct mail and by submission to the Marathon Racing Committee. These details include deadlines for race entry. Late bookings are permitted on the day (up to a specified cut off) where individuals are additional members of a team who have already pre-booked, or are able to demonstrate personal membership of British Canoeing. Participants are registered onto the official British Canoeing Hasler Race Management computer system (HRM). The race rules require that all participants can swim 50m in canoe clothing. Most entrants do so as part of a team and train under a coach who will advise on their competence to participate. Data will be held in line with the BSCC and British Canoeing Privacy Policies. 7. VEHICLE AND TRAILER ACCESS ROUTES There is a substantial public car park at the venue and no especial precautions are considered necessary. 8. BOAT STORAGE ARRANGEMENTS There is ample open space on which boats can be placed safely on the ground 9. BOAT CHECKING Standard marathon committee rules require all boats to have sufficient buoyancy to remain afloat and support the crew in the event of a capsize, and this must be provided by fixed flotation material or sealed bulkheads. Random spot checks of boats will be undertaken as the paddlers get onto the water and any unsafe craft discovered will be disqualified. 10. LAUNCHING AND LANDING PROVISION There is a concrete landing stage in front of the Rowing Club premises which provides an ideal safe getin/get-out. The bank in the general vicinity is also quite suitable for launching and landing. 11. CIRCULATION PATTERNS TO BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES DURING THE PERIOD OF RACING AND WARM-UP, WARM-DOWN While warming up and cooling down, paddlers will be advised to keep river right. Page 2
3 12. WHEN AND WHERE PADDLERS / TEAMS CAN PRACTICE, WARM UP AND COOL DOWN ON THE WATER Paddlers will be requested at the briefing to warm up downstream of the Rowing Club and to return to a point upstream of the Start line by 1:00pm to join the prestart. This is to avoid undue interference with the operation of Purvis Marina. Marshals will be on the water to ensure that this is obeyed. A megaphone announcement will call paddlers to the pre-start line 5-min before the race start. 13. BUOYS Turn buoys will be placed in midstream at Turn 1 (Hartford Marina), Turn 2 (Babcocks Island) and Turn 4 (Godmanchester Lock). These will be supervised at all times while in place. 14. ANY SPECIAL POINTS OF DANGER ON OR NEAR THE COURSE There are no especially dangerous points. The more advanced paddlers (only) will be required to portage around Houghton Mill Lock and over the tip of the island beside Hemingford Abbots weir, but neither of these are especially hazardous for experienced competitors. The greatest risks are associated with the powered craft which operate along the whole length of the river. 15. MARSHALLING INSTRUCTIONS AND CONTROL It is not practical in a race extending over 19 km to have the whole course under observation. Marshals are stationed at key points, specifically each of the turns and portages. It is part of standard race rules that all competitors must stop to help another competitor who is in distress. The pre-start marshal with use a loud hailer to control the waiting competitors and advise oncoming powered craft. The start marshal and pre-start marshal will be within hearing distance of each-other. Runners will convey messages between the locations at Riverside Park (start/pre-start, race HQ in the pavilion and the finish marshals). Marshals stationed on the banks at turns and portages will use their mobile phones to contact the personnel at Riverside Park. The on water marshal at Turn 1 (Hartford Marina) will be within sight and hearing of the bank turn marshals who will have phone contact. 16. SAFETY BOAT TYPE, NUMBERS AND LOCATIONS Safety boats will be unpowered, stable craft suitable for performing rescues from. This necessarily makes them slow-moving. It will not be practical for them to carry mobile phones or other electronic equipment. They will be manned by experienced paddlers who, where possible, have completed a Foundation Safety & Rescue course. There will be several safety boats at the pre-start where capsizes are more likely and where (due to the concentration of paddlers in a small area) there is most likelihood of conflict with powered craft. Some will follow the under-12s race down the course. An on-water marshal at the far end of the u12 s course will be waiting at the turn to ensure that none overshoot, and will follow them back. Page 3
4 17. SAFETY EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR THE COMPETITION The on-water safety marshals will use equipment (including buoyancy aids) provided by themselves and/or their clubs. BSCC will issue high visibility bibs. The club will supply throw lines to the bank marshals where it would be practical to deploy them, especially Houghton Mill Lock portage and the start/finish line. 18. FIRST AID POSITIONS There will be a first aid point at the race food tent and a nominated first aider will be available. The main portage/turn marshals will be equipped with small first aid kits. 19. MEDICAL SUPPORT ARRANGEMENTS If medical support is required we shall call SUMMONING HELP There is no on-site telephone. Mobile phones can be used to dial CANCELLING OR SUSPENSION OF THE COMPETITION The race will not run if there is a Strong Stream alert. If the course is suspected to be in an unsafe condition due to prevailing or recent weather, the Race Organiser will need to view the conditions at key points along the course on the previous day and consider whether the race should be cancelled or modified e.g. restricting participation by under-12s and/or making buoyancy aids mandatory for all. If the competition is cancelled or suspended, this information will be distributed as soon as possible to all pre-booked Team Leaders via the contact details they have given and an announcement made on the club website where the original race details appeared. 22. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN WITH DETAILS OF IMMEDIATE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN See the Club Accident and Emergency Action Plan. 23. INCIDENT REPORTING Competitors and team leaders reminded at the briefing of their responsibility to report incidents to the Race Organiser. The Race Organiser will report incidents to the Environment Agency and/or Huntingdon Council or other authorities (as applicable), and to British Canoeing and their insurers. 24. POST-EVENT REVIEW After the event, all those involved especially organisers and marshals will be invited to contribute their thoughts about problems encountered and suggested improvements. These will be recorded in a document which will be circulated to the organising committee at the time and again to the organising committee of the next race before the next event. The Risk Assessment, Safety Plan and any other procedures will be revised in the light of this learning. Page 4
