Safety 1st
Safety is a core element which will ensure that CAMS is sustainable into the future. Moreover, it is the most important factor in ensuring all motor sport participants conduct their activities in the healthiest and safest way possible. Safety has a primary place within CAMS and its relationship with its key stakeholders.
CAMS strives to continuously improve its efficiencies and effectiveness in this area.
There are many pieces of the jigsaw which forms CAMS health and safety processes. CAMS refers to this as its Safety 1st Strategy, which recognises the unique environment in which motor sport takes place. It demonstrates for all CAMS staff, members and stakeholders that:
-
CAMS puts its people’s safety first and foremost;
-
Many areas of the sport contribute significantly to the overall safety of motor sport;
-
CAMS realises its statutory obligations to safety and takes them seriously;
-
CAMS will strive to continually improve its existing safety record;
-
CAMS not only says it puts safety above all else, but through the compilation of the Safety 1st Strategy, it also provides evidence of the fact.
The CAMS Safety 1st Strategy will assist CAMS and associated stakeholders to work towards a ‘Safety 1st’ culture, and provides a ‘tool box’ for stakeholders to apply and integrate safety into CAMS day-to-day activities.
Organisers, competitors and officials are encouraged to often visit this area of the CAMS website which includes a Executive Summary of the CAMS Safety 1st Strategy; initiatives; safety alerts; articles and forms for ensuring safety at events.
