Re: Pit Requirements
 

Look above it.

"It provides sound safety practices for your workplace and FIRST events."

Note that it provides "practices", not "rules", in that statement. Also note that in the Administrative Manual, it says "should review" and "more information" when referencing the safety manual--and repeats most of the safety rules from there as rules.

If the safety manual is to be treated as rules, FIRST should make that clear. By repeating many of the rules from the safety manual in the Administrative Manual, but not declaring that the safety manual is rules for safety, the implication is that the safety manual is not rules but best practices.
