Managing health and safety at motorsport events: A guide for motorsport event organisers

Date of publication:
2016
Series code:
HSG112 (Second edition)

This guidance is primarily aimed at helping motorsport event organisers to understand what they need to do to comply with the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (the HSW Act) and the regulations made under it.

This guide will help with the safe running of events at permanent venues such as race circuits or at temporary venues such as a grass track meeting on a farmer's field. It will help you to minimise risks in a proportionate way, which does not unduly restrict participation in this leisure activity.

  • An update to legislation and links to further guidance.
  • A clearer explanation of what the guidance is about, what is required, what action to take and why.
  • A clearer and more logical structure that aims to help the reader to scan, understand and assimilate the content.
