10 5.4 Convoy Diagram including National Event 9

11 6. Stage Set-up Set up the Time Control, Start, Flying Finish and Stop Control layouts as per the diagrams shown in the Timekeeping Section. An arrow should be placed at the public road to indicate the stage entrance for competitors; this entrance should be taped and marshalled until FCD if necessary. The Special Stage Start is Post number 1. The Flying Finish and Stop line are the last two post numbers. 6.1 Junctions Place a single advance arrow at 100 metres before the junction together with the relevant post number and two arrows as gate arrows, i.e. as per MSA Blue Book. 6.2 Hazard signs Place 100 metres before a hazard on the post number stake as per Stage Set Up Instructions. 6.3 No Entry boards These should be used along with box junctions / brushwood to clearly indicate roads that are not part of the stage route. Box junctions are prohibited areas which should be appropriately taped and signed. No Entry boards should be placed facing the competitor and, if appropriate, a No Entry to Spectators board can be placed at the spectator end of the box junction. 6.4 Route designation tape Red and white tape should only be used to define the route for competitors and for areas which are prohibited to spectators and only where indicated in the Stage Setup diagrams. Black and yellow Tape is for marking out Spectator Areas only. 6.5 Radio point Signs A Yellow Radio Point Sign should be erected 100 metres prior to the radio location with a Blue Radio Point Sign being erected on the actual junction. 6.6 Rescue point Signs A Yellow Rescue Point Sign should be erected 100 metres prior to the Rescue location with a Blue Rescue Point Sign being erected on the actual junction. These should not be on the same stake as the arrows or radio boards. 6.7 Warning Notices Warning Notices giving the public advice should be displayed at ALL spectator or vehicular accesses leading to the special stage. Signs should be positioned so that spectators pass at least 3 between an official entrance and a designated viewing point. 6.8 Spectator Areas These will be designated in the Spectator Safety Plan for the stage and must be set up exactly as described in the plan. Only yellow and black tape should be used to define these areas. In areas of the heaviest spectator pressure crowd control barriers or yellow/ black and yellow mesh fencing with yellow rope will also be used to define the spectator areas. 10

12 7. Running Special Stages 7.1 Management The Stage Commander is responsible for the preparation, set-up and running of a Special Stage. He will be assisted by the Deputy Stage Commander, Stage Safety Officer and any necessary Mid-point Incident Officer(s). These personnel will have full knowledge of the stage safety plans, the arrangements made for spectator safety and the overall event safety policy. 7.2 Key Personnel Stage Commander, Deputy Stage Commander Stage Safety Officer (and Stage Incident Officers if stage over 15 kilometres) 4 Senior Control Officers (1 for TC, 1 for Start, 1 for FF & 1 for Stop) Timekeepers for TC, Start, FF & Stop Sector Officials / Marshals in Charge 7.3 Pre-Event Planning Plan for the requirements of: Competitors Spectator Access & Safety Media Marshals Police, Fire, Ambulance and At Spectator Locations - Venue specific safety measures 7.4 Staffing Staffing requirements will be decided in consultation with your Stage Team, the Regional Organiser and the Event Safety Coordinator. Split the stage route into manageable sectors and decide on the number of Sector Officials. Sectors may cover a number of marshalling locations. There should be a Marshal in Charge appointed for every post and / or spectator location. Particular attention should be given to the manning requirements of key spectator locations designated on each stage. Stage Commanders should determine the number and type of marshalling roles required on their stage. This information should underpin the recruitment process with suitably qualified and experienced marshals recruited for each role. These could include Timing Marshals, Spectator Marshals, Media Marshals and Route Marshals. Stage Commanders will use the data management system (RST) to register and allocate marshals to post. Once you have determined your staffing requirements, these should be communicated to the Event Staffing Officer in order that approximate numbers are made available to RST. This information will be uploaded to enable you to allocate your marshals once they have been registered and approved. 7.5 Information The Stage commanders should provide maps (from Safety Plan) showing an enlarged layout of each Sector / Post showing junctions, exact location of arrows, tape, brushwood, box junctions, blocking, warning and no entry signs, direction of competing cars, expected approach of Spectators and any out of bounds to spectator areas. Add any additional information to these plans to help the Sector Official. For all spectator locations the Spectator Safety Plans will include detailed layout plans and colour photos indicating how the area is to be set up. It is imperative that all the requirements set 11

13 out in this plan are implemented by the Stage Team in the setting up process and then maintained by the relevant marshals during the Rally. Please use the space available on these pages to add extra notes for your key marshals. The Marshals in Charge of any spectator location must be supplied with a copy of the relevant extract from the Spectator Safety Plan. 7.6 Free Practice and Qualifying Stage The Qualifying Stage should operate as a normal Special Stage and be run in accordance with the information contained in this manual. The FIA Safety Delegate and/or the Event Safety Coordinator will wish to visit this Stage and may travel through at any time during Free Practice and before Qualifying following the Course Car Schedule as provided in the Event Safety Plan. 7.7 Roles Of Senior Stage Officials Stage Commander The Stage Commander is in overall charge of all aspects to do with the running of the Special Stage; they will be located at the Stage Start and will liaise with Rally Control to manage the Stage as part of the overall event management. They must be familiar with all aspects of the Event Safety Plan (including Spectator Safety Plans) and the Incident Management Plan. They should ensure that their A System radio is manned at all times. The Deputy Stage Commander In the build up to the Rally the Deputy Stage Commander should ensure that they are aware of all aspects relating to the event and assist the Stage Commander in distributing all the relevant briefing material or instructions to all stage personnel. During the event the Deputy Stage Commander should ensure that: The marshals operating on the stage have been deployed appropriately; He/she is available to liaise with the Safety Cars and other Senior Officials who visit the stage if the Stage Commander is not immediately available. When the Rally is underway the Deputy Stage Commander should remain at the Stage Start in constant communication with the Stage Commander and Rally Control. In the event of an incident the Deputy Stage Commander will accompany the Safety Services to the scene of the incident in the role of Stage Incident Officer (if prior to any midpoint safety location), where they will oversee the co-ordination of the response to the incident. They will act as the eyes and ears of Rally Control and the Stage Commander. They should ensure that their A System radio is manned at all times. The Stage Safety Officer Prior to the Rally the Stage Safety Officer should ensure that they are aware of all aspects relating to the event, in particular, the contents of the Event Safety Plan including the Spectator Safety Plans. The Stage Safety Officer is responsible for ensuring that the stage has been set up in accordance with the Event Safety Plan, including the Spectator Safety Plans as well as the Incident Management Plan. The Stage Safety Officer should, if possible, brief all Sector Officials and Marshals in Charge who have been assigned to the designated spectator locations. During the event the Stage Safety Officer should ensure that: The marshals operating on the stage have been deployed appropriately. All the Safety Services designated for the stage in the Safety Plan are correctly located and ready for use if needed. He/she accompanies the Spectator Safety Car through the stage to confirm that 12

14 it has been set up in accordance with the Event Safety Manual and the Spectator Safety Plans. In particular, on this pass through the stage, the Stage Safety Officer should keep a detailed written log of spectator activity for future event planning (and make this information available to the Regional Organiser). After reaching the stage finish the Stage Safety Officer should remain at the Finish and liaise with all the Course Cars to confirm conditions in the stage and the level of spectator activity. The Stage Safety Officer should keep in constant communication with the Stage Commander and Rally Control. When the Rally is underway the Stage Safety Officer should undertake a watching brief, assisting the Stage Commander as necessary. It will be a key element of his/ her role to ensure that spectators are kept away from the hazardous finish area and that the media who need to operate in this area are kept safe. They should ensure that their A System radio is manned at all times. The Stage Incident Officers During the event the Stage Incident Officer (based at intermediate safety points) should ensure that: All the Emergency Services designated for the Intermediate location are correctly located and ready for use if needed. In the event of an incident after the Intermediate point the Stage Incident Officer will accompany the Emergency Services to the scene of the incident, where they will oversee the co-ordination of the response to the incident. They will also act as the eyes and ears of Rally Control and the Stage Commander. They will complete all paperwork contained in the Incident Management Pack and take photographs of the incident and scene. These reports and pictures are to be returned to Rally Control with the Sweeper Car or within 12 hours of the incident occurring. They should ensure that their A System radio is manned at all times. Sector Officials / Marshals in Charge The purpose of the sector official is to control all aspects of the Sector / Post / Spectator location under their charge. The size and nature of the Sector will have been established by the Stage Commander and will depend on the type of stage, the junction density and so on. A Sector Official may cover a large area, however a Marshal in Charge or a Senior Marshal must be appointed for every post and/or spectator location. On very large spectator locations it may be necessary to appoint a number of Marshals in Charge to look after various portions of the crowd. They are in charge of all Marshals assigned to their Sector or Area, including briefing and deploying. They are the Senior Official at the scene of all incidents until the arrival of the Deputy Stage Commander or intermediate Incident Officer. In respect of any incidents/accidents which require outside assistance, advise the Stage Commander on the degree of seriousness and type of outside assistance (personnel / vehicles) required. Temporarily take charge of scene until a more Senior Official arrives. A key task is to take action to ensure the safety of both spectators and marshals within the locality, whilst ensuring their own personal safety. In the event of any incident the Marshal in Charge will ensure that a marshal is deployed down the stage to warn marshals and spectators of the approach of a competing car by whistle. The Marshal in Charge should ensure that not all marshals leave their post to deal with the incident and sufficient marshals should remain on post to ensure that the spectators remain in the viewing areas. The risk of further accidents is greatly increased if spectators are allowed to move freely onto the road. It is important to ensure that all marshals stand in safe locations and not in prohibited areas. Marshals should lead by example 13

15 as set out in the Code of Conduct and the Marshal in Charge should ensure that all the elements of that Code are implemented in the area under their charge. The Post of Sector Official or Marshal in Charge should be regarded as a senior appointment and only suitably experienced personnel should be given the role by Stage Commanders. Those appointed to look after spectator locations should have experience of dealing with spectators and must be fully briefed by Stage Commanders or the Stage Safety Officer on the spectator management measures being put into effect in his/her area. Sector Officials and Marshals in Charge must be given a copy of the relevant Spectator Safety Plan extract and must acquaint themselves with the resources available for their assistance; for example the Course Cars. The Sector Official / Marshal in Charge should be aware of the schedule, functions and responsibilities of the Course Cars, their communication capabilities and ways in which their cars can help him deal with problems (e.g. persuading spectators where to stand). Control Officers To oversee the running of the relevant Control operation in line with the procedures set out in the relevant sections of this manual. To provide support and guidance to those operating the controls. To be prepared to discuss issues with the Stage Commander as required. 7.8 Closing the Stage This will be done through consultation between Rally Control, Sweeper Car and the Stage Commander. Final confirmation of closure will be by Rally Control. To speed up the stage closing procedure please have the following ready for the Sweeper Car: All Control Record Cards, Total number of competitors who entered the stage, Total number of competitors who completed the stage, Number of competitors remaining in the stage and their locations, Any signed Damage Declarations / Time Cards from competitors who have retired, Any report forms relating to incidents on the stage, Please also hand back the Incident Management Packs, First Aid Kits and all Signing On Sheets/Cards from the Stage Start. The stage is only closed when the Sweeper Car reaches the Stop Line. After the final running of your stage the Sweeper Car will be followed through the stage by the MIV and the Rally Rescue ambulance to allow medical cover to be provided to the stage unhindered by marshals standing down. Timing equipment will be collected by the Timing Equipment Car which will also follow the Sweeper Car. Please make sure that marshals do not leave their posts/locations until all the vehicles have passed them. 8. Non-Stage Locations Regroups, Service Areas & Overnight Parc Fermé 8.1 Regroup A Regroup allows the Rally to regain its published time schedule and allows the gaps between cars to be closed up. They can also be utilised to allow the field to be reordered. 14

16 In Control The competitor checks in to the In Control and their arrival time is entered on the last part of the Time Card. This card is retained at the In Control. The competitor is then issued with a new Time Card and their due time at the Out Control will be entered in the due time box by the marshal. The crew then proceed into the Parc Fermé area. The cars are parked and the crews may remain in the vehicles. (Where the re-group is more than 15 minutess the crews are required to leave their vehicles). Subsequent cars are then issued with due times at the Out Control at 2 minute or 1 minute intervals as required from the time of the first car. The control record is used to calculate these times. When issuing the due out time, ensure that competitors are given sufficient time to traverse the distance between the In and Out Controls. An interview area for the Media should be located prior to the Yellow Board and be barriered off. Access to this area is limited to Media pass holders and certain other pass holders. Out Control The competitor presents his time card to the timing marshal who enters the time and returns the time card at the time of departure. Layout A Regroup consists of 2 Time Controls located at the entry and exit points to a Parc Fermé area. Barriers for the Parc Fermé will have already been delivered and erected. The Control boards consist of a yellow clock board followed by a red clock board at the In Control; the next board is a red clock board at the Out Control followed by a beige end of control zone board. Troubleshooting Problem Crew will not accept time Car enters control twice Vehicle cannot move under its own power Which crews have a two minute gap? Crew insist on impossible time One crew member not present Two crews arrive on same minute Solution SCO to deal with and report to Rally Control.* Give time for first entry and a written report to Rally Control.* Report to Rally Control.* Windscreen sticker identifies these as does the Section start list. Note there may also be a gap before and after the Production WRC competitors. Rally Control will notify you of this. Give time on clock and make full report to Rally Control.* Do not give time until two present. Give both the same In Control time, but separate Out Control times. If necessary seek clarification from Rally Control. Crew wish to repair or refuel car Not generally permitted, the only exceptions relate to repairs required by Scrutineers on the grounds of safety or the change of a front or rear windscreen using outside assistance. In both instances the work must be supervised by a marshal, must be timed exactly and a full report must be made immediately to the Clerk of the Course. * NB REFERS TO REPORT FORM ON REVERSE OF CONTROL RECORD CARD. 8.2 Service Park - Deeside A dedicated location where servicing can be carried out on competitors cars by the Service Crews. All service areas are timed. Results distribution will take place at all Service Parks. 15

17 Layout The Service Park will have time controls at the entrance and exit. Note the reduced control distances. Field Medical Facilities will be established at the main Service Area. A Media Zone will be created prior to the Yellow TC IN board and this will need to be marshalled to ensure that only the Media and team personnel with the correct pass have access. A barriered queuing zone before the In Control of approximately 30m in length should also be set up. Vehicle routes (minimum of 3m wide) and separate pedestrian walkways will be set up. Areas will be specifically designated for spectators to view the vehicles during Service. These areas may be accessed via crossing points which should be manned at all times. Spectators must NOT be allowed in the vehicle routes and should remain in the pedestrian areas. Speed limit Under the Regulations there is a speed limit in service parks of 30kph (20mph approximately). The speed limit is reduced to 5kph in the Refuelling Zones. Any competitor driving in excess of these speeds should be the subject of a written report to the Clerk of the Course. Refuelling The refuelling of any rally car is not permitted inside the Service Park, except in the following instance: When necessary, as part of service (i.e. when changing a fuel pump or tank), emptying and refilling is permitted provided that: 1. The work is carried out under the supervision of a marshal. 2. No other work is carried out on the car during the emptying and/or refilling. 3. A suitable safety perimeter is established around the car. 4. Two fire marshals or team personnel are present with extinguishers suitable for use on flammable liquids. 5. Only sufficient fuel is added to reach the next Refuelling Zone. A Refuelling Zone will be set up at the exit from the Service Park, after the Out Control. It is required that this area be surrounded by a double row of crowd control barrier with a gap of at least one metre between each line of barrier. All Priority drivers must use FIA fuel and the refuelling service located in the Refuelling Zone. Most other competitors will use this service. NB: Non-Priority drivers are allowed to refuel at commercial filling stations where these are marked in the Road Book. A Refuel Zone will be available on each day. The only personnel permitted in the Refuelling Zone are: The crew of the competing car who may remain in the car but with their seat belts undone. Operators of the refuelling rig or team refuellers (2 per car) Safety personnel and two marshals controlling the entrance and exit. To assist with the refuelling procedure of their car, two team members of each crew are permitted in the Zone. If the car refuses to start after refuelling it must be pushed clear of the Refuelling Zone, with the assistance of the marshals if necessary; also, up to 2 team members may be used to help push the car. The start of the Refuelling Zone will be indicated by the appropriate blue sign, with the end of the Zone indicated by a blue crossedthrough sign. Radios or mobile phones must not be used or located within 100 metres of a Refuelling Zone. 16

18 Tyre Marking There will be Tyre Marking and Tyre Checking Zones indicated by the appropriate signs located at the beginning and end of each area. Scrutineers will operate within this area to carry out tyre marking or checking as necessary. Flexi-Service The opportunity for teams to use the Flexi-Service arrangements will only be applicable at the 45 minute service at the end of Sections 1, 3 and 5 at Deeside. Flexi-Service is intended to provide an opportunity for a two-car team to service its cars at different times by the second car waiting effectively in limbo in the Parc Fermé until the first car in the team has been serviced and returned to the Parc Fermé. Detailed information on how it operates is set out in the WRC Sporting Regulations. Due to its complexity a specific briefing will be given to the relevant marshals operating the appropriate Service Time Controls. Remote Service (Newtown) 1. At a Remote Service Zone (RSZ), the crew and up to 4 of the same team personnel may work on their car. 2. Whilst in a RSZ, except for the use of jacks, chassis stands, ramps, wheel nut spanners, torque wrench, hand tools and plain water, the team may use only equipment or parts and tools carried on board the competing car. Tools may be battery operated, including any necessary lighting. Ground sheets must be used. Plain water may be added to the car systems for which a filling device may be used. 3. A RSZ will not exceed 15 minutes duration for any one car. Troubleshooting Problem Time Control Procedure Competing car breaks speed limit in Service Area or Refuelling Zone Solution See Above. Report to Clerk of the Course immediately via Service Park Manager. 8.3 Overnight Parc Fermé In Control Operates as a Time Control, collects time cards from competitors and issues end of day results to competitors. Out Control Operates as a Time Control, issues new time cards to competitors and other paperwork as required. Will be supplied with a list of re-start times. The Parc Fermé A totally secure area after the In Control. This should be manned by marshals (no more than 6 in normal circumstances), who will arrange parking/departure of competitors. Access to Parc Fermé is restricted to: Competitors On arrival and parking their car, competitors must immediately leave the area. On departure at the start of a day competitors may enter Parc Fermé 10 minutes before their due departure time. Senior Officials only if carrying out a specific function (Ref. WRC Sporting Regulations Article ). Officials - only those running the Parc Fermé are permitted. Scrutineers - if involved in the technical inspection of specific vehicles. 17

19 TV personnel, with specific permission of the Clerk of the Course, to change tapes from in car cameras. Only Senior Officials/Officials/Scrutineers who have a silver Parc Fermé sticker on their ID badge may gain access to Parc Fermé. Working on Cars This is not permitted except in the following circumstances: 1. If a vehicle is considered not to be safe to continue by the Scrutineers, the FIA Technical Delegate may give permission for work to be carried out. 2. With the approval of the Clerk of the Course a crew may change a damaged windscreen using outside help (if required) under the supervision of an authorised marshal. Please note that car covers may not be used within the Parc Fermé. Scrutineers and Competitor Relations Officers Both will attend all Parc Fermé points. An area is set aside for the Scrutineers at the entrance to Parc Fermé to enable them to carry out any checking of competing cars. The Competitor Relations Officers (CROs) will require an area at the drivers entry and exit of Parc Fermé. The Rally Police Liaison Officer may also operate in this area. Troubleshooting Problem Time Control Procedure Vehicle unable to move under its own power at Parc Fermé entrance or exit Crew wish to repair or refuel car Solution See Above. Refer to Art 42.3 of WRC Sporting Regulations and contact Rally Control. Only the officials on duty and/or the crew can push a car to the exit of Parc Fermé. Not generally permitted.

In both instances the work must be supervised by a marshal, must be timed exactly and a full report must be made immediately to the Clerk of the Course. 9. Course Cars 9.1 Purpose To ensure the correct layout, readiness and safety of Special Stages, Controls and other locations before the arrival of the first competing car, and to assist Officials at each location as required. In accordance with the FIA General Prescriptions, Course Cars are also responsible for supporting marshals in the Special Stages with any queries. To run on the same route as competing cars carrying and using time cards in order to ensure full familiarity by all control officials with the operation of timing and time cards. All Course Cars will report by radio as they start and finish each stage. The cars will have A System radios and a mobile phone. Whilst the FIA Safety Delegate s Vehicle is not a Course Car, it does contain Senior Officials of the Rally who can and will stop to assist marshals where spectator problems exist. 9.2 Function Timing Equipment Car The Vehicle Timing Equipment will be delivered to all Special Stages and Remote TC s on the event by a delivery car at a time listed in the Event Safety Plan. This time will take account of the anticipated time it will take to set up all the relevant equipment. 18

20 An SIT technician car will follow after the equipment delivery to commission the equipment. Spectator Safety Car To check all aspects of the layout of a stage, presence of officials at their posts and the safety of spectators. Must be accompanied by the Stage Safety Officer for first run whilst carrying out this check and will leave the Stage Start approximately 1 hour 15 minutes ahead of the first competitor. Additionally they will check that spectator viewing areas are correctly set up. This vehicle will ensure the provisions of the Event Safety Plan and Spectator Safety Plan have been implemented through the setting up process and the marshalling practice. Course Car 000 Spectator Management and the accuracy of the timing equipment by the Chief Timekeeper and also secondary check of arrowing and general layout. They will leave the Stage Start a minimum of 40 minutes ahead of the first competitor. This vehicle will ensure that the spectators are located in safe areas or areas of least risk and that the marshalling practices continue to implement the Spectator Safety Plan. Course Car 00 To provide a further check of spectator safety. Will leave the Stage Start approximately 20 minutes ahead of the first competitor. This vehicle will also ensure that the spectators continue to be located in areas of least risk and that they are not in prohibited areas and that the marshalling practices continue to implement the Spectator Safety Plan. The crew of this Course Car will provide the Clerk of the Course with their opinion on whether the stage can be run safely. This information will be considered alongside the view of the FIA Safety Delegate before stages are approved to run. Course Car 0 Final operational check and fast road closer function. Will start the stage around minutes ahead of the first competitor. The FIA Safety Delegate & Event Safety Coordinator Will run between 000 and 00 and will be checking the stage for all aspects of safety. The FIA Safety Delegate, in consultation with the Event Safety Coordinator, will give the formal approval for the stage to run. Sweeper Cars Will work under direction of Rally Control in assisting prompt closing of controls. Will collect all Signing On Cards, Control Record Cards and Reports. After the final running of the stage they will also collect the Incident Management Packs and First Aid Kits. They will traverse the full route of each Stage. Short cutting is not permitted. The vehicle will have A System radios and a mobile phone. (There will be 2 Sweeper Cars doing alternate stages and they may be assisted by a Sweeper Admin Car to return cards/paperwork to Rally HQ). The Vehicle Timing & Tracking Equipment will be collected by the Equipment Delivery Vehicle. 9.3 The National Rally The National Rally will run on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There will be a National Course Opening and a National Course Closing Car to ensure that the stage is still acceptable to run with spectators in suitable locations and no vehicles potentially blocking the track. See convoy diagram earlier in this manual for details. 19

21 10. Safety Planning 10.1 Evacuation Procedure In emergency situations spectators will look to Officials and Marshals for guidance and assistance. Reading this section may save your life and the lives of others. Evacuation Procedure Marshals In the event of an emergency requiring the area to be cleared of all people; remain calm, work as a team and ensure that spectators are directed to the most suitable exit point. Where possible the senior marshal should remain with the spectators while the other marshals should position themselves along the exit route to act as guides, pointing and directing spectators to the next marshal along. This should occur until all spectators have been cleared from the area. All marshals should then leave the area. If your location requires evacuation procedures to be implemented the Radio Marshal will be briefed on what the situation is and how Rally Control wishes it to be managed. He/she will work with the Sector Official to relay appropriate messages to the spectators and other officials at that location. This will apply to stages and service areas. Evacuation Procedure Spectators The Advice Given to Them In the event of an emergency please return (when possible) to your vehicle always following the instructions of the marshals. These marshals will be positioned to help identify the most suitable exit route. Please remain calm, walk carefully ensuring you do not fall or trip over any uneven ground. In most Emergency Situations the deployed resources available to the emergency services will be sufficient to ensure effective resolution. However, it is recognised that circumstances may be such that a Major Incident will have to be declared. If there is a need to advise Sector Officials of the nature of an incident a specific announcement will be made via the nearest radio car Stage Cancellation If a stage has to be cancelled for any reason whatsoever, the following spectator safety guidance should be followed: Marshals should remain on post and give clear instructions regarding departure routes along with any other helpful and relevant information. The stage may continue on its original route or it may be re-routed using a preplanned alternative route. Yellow flag procedures are covered earlier in this document. A Course Car will traverse the stage at a steady pace giving additional information where possible. The route should remain one way with a recommended maximum speed of 25mph. The stage closure and exits should be managed over the C System. Car Park personnel should be advised by the Regional Organiser and ensure that all exit routes are free from blockages and are clearly defined. Marshals should only give known information avoid speculation. The Stage Commander, with the support of Rally Control, is responsible for the safe departure of all spectators and marshals. Rally Control should have suggested answers to any likely questions spectators may ask. 20

22 These answers should be made available to Stage Commanders for distribution to all senior officials (via a Course Car and/or over their PA system). 11. Media Safety & Identification The Media accredited for Wales Rally GB play an important role in the promotion of the event. Every journalist and photographer must be permitted to perform their duties in the best possible conditions and ALL marshals are requested to do all they can to assist the Media in carrying out their role both safely and effectively. The Media are not exempt from having to respect general safety rules. This should not interfere with their ability to work effectively but if a choice has to be made between them working in areas as they wish and being exposed to an unacceptable level of risk, safety must always take precedence. As far as safety-related matters are concerned, the media will be divided into two groups: 1. Non-tabard Media -Journalists, Radio Reporters. They will have media passes issued by the event organiser and can work in all areas that spectators may access. 2. Tabard Media WRC Promoter, Host TV, Other TV and Photographers (and support crew, e.g. carrying equipment etc.) They will have Media passes, with a number and the name of the publication (together with the name of the bearer in certain cases), issued by the organisers or the FIA but not both. (Organisers media passes will not be issued to journalists, photographers or other representatives of the media who hold permanent FIA passes.) Only media representatives wearing these tabards will be permitted in non-spectator areas. This does not include prohibited areas. When worn in conjunction with a permanent media pass this tabard allows the wearer access to the photo areas. Any media person wearing a tabard must ensure it is clearly visible at all times and is not covered by any other garment. The tabard is allocated on a strictly personal basis and is non-transferable. Failure to comply with this will result in the immediate withdrawal of the tabard (this will be done by either the FIA Media Delegate or the Event Media Officer). Media tabards are issued exclusively by the FIA. If, in the opinion of a Marshal, a member of the Media is in a place of danger then try to negotiate with them to move to a safer location. If they will not move it is recommended that the Marshal seeks the co-operation of any Course Car to assist them further. Please note that the Spectator Safety plans for the Rally do indicate special TV and photographer locations outside of the normal Spectator areas which the media may wish to use. Media may not stand in prohibited areas (for example box junctions). If this instruction is again ignored, the official in charge will immediately submit a 21

23 report to the Clerk of the Course and Stewards. This report should include the date, location, time and the number on the tabard. Please give this report to the Sweeper Car when they come through the stage. If possible advise the stage start that you have a report (without giving any details) so that the Sweeper Car will know to look for you when they reach your junction. A copy of this report must be sent to the FIA Media Delegate. All Marshals should try to avoid any confrontational situation with the Media. In order to facilitate the work of the Media, the organisers are asked to provide parking spaces for at least twelve cars at specific locations chosen by the FIA Media Delegate. These locations will generally be near to Stage Finishes. The Media should be given full co-operation at Stage Start and Finishes to carry out their duties provided that they are not interfering with the operational needs of the control. Media marshals will be appointed to all media locations to ensure that the important role of the media is facilitated whilst all aspects of the Media Safety Plan are respected. 12. Spectator Safety Advice The following are some general spectator safety advice points issued by the Event Coordinator to Spectators on this year s Rally: Please ensure you walk behind the tree line or on the pathways created. Do NOT walk on the competitive stage. Motorsport can be dangerous and despite us taking all reasonable precautions, unavoidable accidents can happen. In respect of these, you are present at your own risk. No dogs allowed on the event disabled assistance dogs excepted. Children and infants should ALWAYS be accompanied by an adequate amount of adults who remain responsible for their behaviour. Please be aware that the weather at the time of the event can be wet and extremely cold especially for the early morning and late afternoon stages. Please make sure you dress accordingly. The marshals are there to help you and ensure the event runs safely please listen to their instructions and advice. Marshals and officials have the right to work without being abused or threatened. Abusive, threatening or violent behaviour towards officials (who are all volunteers) will not be tolerated and spectators will be evicted from the event. Take all litter home with you or place it in the skips or black bags provided. Do not light fires or barbecues they can cause major fires with serious consequences. Do not bring fireworks to the event. Please follow the countryside code at all times when you are in the forests. Consider your own safety and that of others. Please do not bring alcohol. Below is the general guidance issued by the MSA to Rally Spectators: Rally cars move quickly and may: Run wide on corners Leave the road Throw up stones Do what you LEAST expect Enjoy rallying... but TAKE CARE! More detailed Spectator Safety information is contained within the Spectator Safety Plan which will be supplied to senior stage personnel. Relevant extracts will be supplied to every Sector Official or Marshal in Charge of every post/location on the Rally. 22

25 14. Code of Conduct for Officials & Marshals 14.1 Appearance Ensure you wear suitable clothing to enable you to carry out your duties in comfort. Depending on the weather, warm clothes and strong sensible footwear will be needed. Always wear the tabard supplied by the organisers so that you can be clearly seen by competitors, spectators, the media and other officials Behaviour Your actions are as important as your appearance. Try to be as friendly as you can whilst remaining in control. How you perform your duties will affect the competitors and spectators view of the event. Officials are NOT expected to use cameras, consume alcohol or fool around whilst on duty. Follow the that you have been provided with plus any additional specific instructions provided by the Stage Commander or other Chief Official. Make full use of the additional resources available to you, such as the Course Cars or Senior Officials via the nearest radio point. Do not let yourself become overwhelmed by any situation. Try to keep calm at all times and keep your gestures low and non-threatening. Try to remember that any spectators who are unhappy are not angry with you personally but with the Rally. Remember, spectators may well take pictures or video footage of your actions so please behave professionally at all times Safety Whilst the organisers have taken all precautions, your safety is primarily your responsibility. You should remember that the safety elements of the Rally are requirements of the Health and Safety Legislation and are required to allow the Rally to run. You must NOT stand in a place of danger such as a prohibited area; always leave room for your escape should a competing car leave the stage route. If it is not suitable for a spectator is probably is not suitable for you either. The Course Cars and FIA Safety Delegate may well ask you to move. Follow all requirements set out in the Spectator Safety Plan in relation to your safety and the safety of others. Do not let spectators become established in prohibited areas, they will be impossible to move after they have settled. Nobody under the age of 16 can sign on in an official capacity. Cadet marshals (if registered with the MSA) may sign on with their parent or guardian and will be allocated a suitable location by the Stage Commander. The cadet marshal MUST wear the MSA Cadet Marshal tabard. Trainee marshals, if under the age of 18, will also need to sign on with their parent or guardian and will again be allocated a suitable location. All other trainee marshals will be allocated a position alongside an experienced marshal. Any road that may form an escape road between the Start and Stop Controls should be kept clear and unobstructed from spectators and marshals for a distance of at least 100m, bearing in mind the potential approaching speed of a competitor. If you are in a radio car, please park well to the side and well back to ensure a route 24

26 is available past your vehicle. All marshals should ensure that spectators are directed towards viewing the Rally from the designated spectator areas. Any spectators found straying into other parts of the stage route should be managed by the marshals in line with the broad principles of where it is of least risk to let them stand. Beware of uneven or slippery surfaces (wear sensible shoes) and of flying stones. Be careful when walking in the dusk or dark take a torch. Diplomacy As officials you will be the point of contact with competitors, the public and representatives of the World Governing Body for the sport. Know what is expected of you, be firm as you carry it out and remember safety and efficiency are your primary objectives. Do NOT place yourself in a place of danger or vulnerability/ potential confrontation when dealing with spectators, if you require help or assistance then you must seek that assistance. ALWAYS be polite and helpful, do NOT block the views of spectators by standing in large groups (no more than 2 or 3 marshals together). We would like our spectators (who may be marshals on other events) to feel that we are a friendly event and that we help wherever we can. It is useful to greet competitors and spectators as they arrive at your location and then carry out your designated task. You must not offer advice or interpret the regulations for competitors. No physical assistance should be provided to competing cars except in the case of safety Reporting for duty As an official you will have an important designated function, which will mean you must arrive in plenty of time to prepare and set up. Be prepared for a very long day. If you are going to be late or will not be able to attend to carry out your task, ensure that the person responsible for the allocation of your duties is made aware as soon as possible. Please REMEMBER to complete and sign your signing on card and bring it with you Family and Friends Any family members or friends you bring with you will be classed as spectators and must view the event from the public areas. This is to ensure their safety and your safety as if you are concentrating on watching family members you may not be paying full attention to what is going on around you. All children must only be located in spectator areas Parking of Officials Cars All non-competing vehicles should be parked in a safe place at least 30m from the stage road/track unless specific authority is otherwise given. In escape roads all noncompeting vehicles should be parked in a place of safety at least 100m away from the road used as the special stage. Always ensure there is sufficient space for other vehicles to get past if necessary. Non-competing cars required solely for purposes of operational efficiency, i.e. those housing equipment relevant to stage controls or providing marshals shelter at control locations must be parked safely and in locations designated by the Stage Commander as suitable, having regard to the needs of safety. Safety Radio Cars must be parked in a place of safety at all times and in the specific locations as indicated in the Safety Plan. In some locations it may be necessary for one occupant to be deployed outside the vehicle to monitor competing car numbers; this will be set out in the Safety Plan. Such personnel must then stand 25

27 in a safe location; personal safety must not be compromised in the interests of operational needs Training The organisers will take reasonable steps to ensure that all marshals are suitably briefed for their duties by using MSA Registered Marshals wherever possible. All marshals are expected to acquaint themselves with all relevant instructions and safety information relevant to their role on the Rally. Training events will take place during the run up to the event; either visit the website for dates and locations or contact the Training Officer (contact details available on the website) to arrange a training evening for your own club. REMEMBER: Do not be officious, be as friendly as possible. Do not take any risks with your personal safety. Be friendly, listen, but be firm with spectators. Be prepared and confident when undertaking your duties. If you need help or assistance then you must seek such assistance. Keep your sense of humour & remember that rallying is fun. Please remember to acquaint yourselves with the relevant instructions for your role on the rally taking particular note of the changes introduced this year. REMEMBER YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY AT ALL TIMES Wear reflective clothing in the dark. Carry a torch. Fires are not permitted in the forests. Fireworks are not permitted on the rally. 26
