In addition the Nidderdale Agricultural Society recognises its responsibility for the health and safety of Society and Committee Members, visitors, exhibitors, contractors, volunteers and members of the public who are attending the Society’s annual show. The Society is committed to the highest attainable standards of health and safety for all of those persons listed above. To enable the highest standards to be achieved and maintained, the Society will ensure that all applicable statutory requirements are enforced and that the provisions of any relevant advisory Codes of Practice are recognised and implemented. IMPLEMENTATION A Health and Safety Sub Committee shall be formed whose purpose is to identify the means by which the aims of the Society for Health and Safety are to be achieved. The Health and Safety Sub Committee shall be comprised of the President of the Society, the Chairman of the Committee, all Chief Stewards, the Honorary Safety Advisor and co-opted Members as required. A series of instructions shall be written which will identify individual responsibility for the safety management of the Show and the procedures to be followed in the event of an emergency arising during its course. These instructions shall be known as Show Procedures and will be reviewed annually and further procedures written as a need is identified by the Main or Sub Committee of the Show. A meeting of the Sub Committee shall be held in the week preceding the annual Show at which time all Chief Stewards will be given instruction on the requirements for health and safety contained in the Show Procedures. The instruction will be appropriate to both their own particular area of responsibility and to the Show general site requirements. It is the responsibility of the Chief Stewards, under the direction and authority of the Chairman of the Committee, to ensure that the Stewards under their control are familiar with the Safety Executive Guidance appropriate to their section. The Chief Stewards must also ensure that the Stewards within their section are trained in the provisions and actions required by the Show Procedures and that their requirements are adhered to and carried out at all times.
