CYCING TIME TRIAS - SOUTH DISTRICT COUNCI GUIDANCE NOTES FOR PROMOTING SECRETARIES RISK ASSESSMENT. Promoting Secretaries should refer to the Course Risk Assessment and check that all measures to reduce risks have been covered. Promoting Secretaries should complete an Event Risk Assessment to identify any additional risks arising shortly before the event and brief competitors if necessary. Promoting Secretaries should still complete an Event Risk Assessment even if there were no additional hazards, and return it to the District Secretary. FIED PACEMENT. Whilst the underlying principle of field placement is to arrange the starting position of each rider to avoid paced and company riding, the overriding consideration must be the Safety of Competitors. The event should be on the road for as little time as practicable, so that slower riders are not exposed to the danger of becoming left adrift by being placed at the end of the field. This will also reduce the duty of care placed on marshals and timekeepers who may not be aware that riders are still out on the course. The Safety of Competitors must be given priority over the strict application of the principle of field placement as per the Guidance Note. In order to reduce the danger to the slower riders, consideration should be given to placing faster riders at the end of the field even though their potential time might qualify them for a higher spot nearer the front of the field. The later part of the enclosed Guidance Note No. 8 may also be helpful in this respect NOTES TO BE INCUDED ON START SHEETS/START CARDS or DISPAYED AT SIGNING-~ON SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Riders must: Any rider observed riding in a manner which may jeopardise his or her own safety, the safety of others and the future of the Sport will be disqualified and reported to the South District Council of Cycling Time Trials. SAFETY HEMETS For events where helmets are not compulsory, the following should be printed on all Start Sheets: In the interests of your Own Safety, Cycling Time Trials and the event promoters strongly advise competitors to wear a HARD SHE HEMET that meets an internationally accepted safety standard. Cycling Time Trial regulations require all competitors under the age of 18 years to wear a Hard Shell Helmet.
