32. Show & Shine and Vendor Lane To add to the spectator experience for 2016, Slow Life will be hosting a Show ‘n’ Shine at the event with 60 spots allocated for entrants. Additionally, several vendors/sponsors will be setting up trade displays around the show and shine area. While Slow Life are tasked with running the show and shine and the trade displays set up by the vendors, the overall event is run under a CAMS permit with MGEC the organising body; therefore we have a responsibility to ensure that these activities are conducted in a safe manner.
As these activities are static displays, most risk will be during the bump-in and bump-out activities, possible risks from electrical equipment in the outdoor environment and from lifting/jacking of vehicles. To ensure these risks are managed, the following guidelines apply:
Movement of vehicles in the paddock is at WALKING pace (maximum of 10km/h). These activities should be overseen by an official. Bump-out at the end of the event will be conducted at night under lights and needs to be carefully managed to ensure that it can be done quickly and safely particularly as both the show and shine and the vendors will be wishing to bump out at much the same time. Any raising of vehicles needs to be in an appropriate manger to ensure that the vehicle cannot drop off the supports (bearing in mind the display area is grassed earth which has the potential to move under load). Any raised vehicle must be surrounded by bunting to ensure that members of the public are kept at a distance of at least 1m from such a vehicle. Electrical hazards, particularly with outdoor equipment also much be considered. Power cords and equipment need to be protected from physical damage or exposure to weather. Portable RCD’s are strongly recommended and equipment/cords must be in sound condition. The Clerk of Course is able to conduct electrical test & tag if required.
