SITE SAFETY & LEGAL

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH and SAFETY

All Exhibitors, their employees, contractors, representatives and/or volunteers must abide by the current Work, Health and Safety Act 2012, as amended. The site allocated to you is considered an extension of your workplace. You and the YP Field Days have responsibility for the safety of staff and visitors to your site.

 

DEMONSTRATIONS

Exhibitors displaying and/or demonstrating machinery or any items that may be a potential danger to the public must ensure that every precaution is taken to comply with current safety regulations and requirements.

Exhibitors demonstrating angle grinders, welders and cut-off machines are warned of the danger of flying particles causing fire and eye damage and must comply with safety regulations with proper guards and screens fitted and must have a fire extinguisher available in the demonstration area.

SITES/STRUCTURES/EXHIBITS

  • All tent/marquee pegs must be covered and be within the perimeter of exhibitor’s site.

  • Temporary structures must be checked for stability and strength taking into account possible weather conditions (e.g. wind, rain, etc) and all silos and tanks MUST be securely anchored.

  • Heavy items are not to be stored at heights.

  • Equipment which is raised in the air must also comply with all safety requirements e.g. augers must not hang over roadways or another site.

  • Machine guarding to be in place.

Open fires are not permitted on site. We recommend that you have a readily accessible fire extinguisher, fire blanket and first aid kit on your site at all times.

All gas bottles and equipment must meet the current safety standards and regulations and be in test code.

If the matter remains unresolved, please refer the matter to the Administration Office for consideration. If the matter remains unresolved, it should be referred to the Yorke Peninsula Field Days Chief Executive Officer. While every effort will be made to ensure disputes are resolved to the mutual satisfaction of all parties, if this cannot be achieved, the decision of the Yorke Peninsula Field Days Chief Executive Officer will prevail.
