Organisational Responsibilities Operations Manager Nigel Morgan Facilities Manager Garry Leahy Show & Trade Stands Coord. Michelle Mackey Event Safety Advisor Phil Atkinson Show & Trade Stands Officer Emma Donnelly Livestock & Ents Coord.

The Operations Manager will ensure that all activities under the management and control of the YAS fulfil their statutory requirements with regard to health and safety at the Great Yorkshire Show. The Operations Manager is responsible through effective planning in ensuring that risks involved in work activities and the control measures to minimise these are in place and are communicated through a process of briefings and a guidance booklet so far as is reasonably practicable. The Operations Manager will ensure that the locations under the control of the YAS and used in connection with the GYS are maintained in a safe condition, entrances and exits used for the movement of people, animals and vehicles are safe and without risk so far as is reasonably practicable. The Operations Manager assisted by the Facilities Manager will provide up to date safety information for staff, exhibitors and visitors if individuals are exposed to new or increased risks or are exposed to any substance that may be hazardous to health. The use of all hazardous substances will be supervised by a competent person at all times. The Facilities Manager is responsible for the management of all Facilities Department staff, contractors and activities at the Show. Livestock Exhibitors The YAS reserves the right to suspend any activity or remove any contractor or exhibitor from the showground if they are considered to be unsafe or in direct contravention of health & safety legislation or Show Regulations.

If the handler is a junior handler (under 18 years of age) they must be supervised by a competent adult handler who is able to restrain/control the animal in an emergency. In the interests of public safety livestock exhibitors will keep the movement of livestock to a minimum when the show is open to the public and during transfers from their stalls to judging rings and back and will restrict movement of livestock to controlled areas designated by the organisers. Livestock must not be left unattended at any time in public areas whether restrained or otherwise unless in a secure stall and it is the responsibility of the exhibitor to ensure that stalls are secure and livestock cannot escape when they are being viewed by the public. Livestock exhibitors will indemnify the Yorkshire Agricultural Society for any losses suffered as a direct result of their failure to provide competent handlers and/or any negligent act on the part of the handler or owner which is in direct contravention of this policy or the Show Regulations. Livestock exhibitors are responsible for ensuring that any workers under their control or direction who are engaged in disinfecting activities are made aware of the risks and the control measures in place. Exhibitors are responsible for providing their own personal protective equipment and that they or their agents use this equipment. The organiser reserves the right to restrict the movement of people through the cattle lines whilst judging or livestock movement is in progress.
