1.5.1. The Safety Steward shall have an SCCA Track/TT Safety Steward License.

1.5.2. The Safety Steward is responsible for the following duties:

A. To investigate accidents and forward the originals of all reports, including original releases, to the Risk Management Department of SCCA.

B. To notify Risk Management Department, the same day via telephone, of any accident which involves serious injury to a participant or any injury to a spectator.

G. To perform safety related duties as delegated by the Event Lead.

H. To ensure the presence of appropriate Emergency Services personnel and equipment at all times while the event is underway.

I. Take appropriate measures to ensure adequate crowd control. Deputy Safety Stewards and Crowd Marshals may be assigned for this purpose. It is the responsibility of the TT Safety Steward to review and confirm the placement of all barriers and crowd control devices prior to the start of the event, and to take measure to ensure they remain in position during the event.

J. Use every reasonable means to limit access to restricted areas to those who have proper credentials. The use of a credential system (armbands or the like) is recommended at any event where multiple points of entry are possible.

K. Personally examine the insurance and sanction paperwork prior to the start of the event.

L. Conduct a meeting of course workers, crowd control personnel and Deputy Safety Stewards prior to the actual start of the event.

M. When required, follow guidelines and procedures to approve a TrackSprint course.

N. Make a final course inspection just prior to the beginning of competition or prior to the resumption of competition after a delay of an extended period. This check is to assess the placement of all personnel, safety equipment, barriers and protective placements (hay bales and the like), and to confirm the readiness of Emergency Services personnel and equipment.

1.5.3. Non-Compliance with Safety Regulations
In the event of non-compliance with safety regulations, the Safety Steward shall take the following steps:

A. Advise the Event Lead of the infraction and request the situation be remedied before the next car runs or session begins.

B. If step one fails to resolve the situation, inform the Competition Director that the event is shut down until the problem is corrected.

Note: While the event Safety Steward does have the right to cancel an event for safety reasons, this should be used as a last resort ONLY. Every attempt should be made to resolve the situation and continue the event in a timely manner. Safety Stewards should work diligently in cooperation with Event Leads and other Officials to ensure an event that is safe for all participants, workers, and spectators. Safety is not an area where compromises can be made, and it is up to all officials to work together to continue the long-standing record of safe events that has become the tradition of SCCA.
