I agree with efoote, though. I think more safety would happen if the metric used wasn't necessarily signs and theater, but actual incident logs and incident avoidance measures (including training, response plans, and reviews when incidents happen).

If you look in post 11 you would see what I look for. Since 2007 I have used what the teams can show me about their safety program at their shop and how they handle things at the event. Signs have had little meaning to me. Another school near 192 had a very bad accident. By having the manuals, written training and testing records, and the fact the students could answer the districts questions we were able to keep open without any changes. The other school had many new limits put on their program. At an event teaching is more importsnt then giving an award. The goal is so that each team has the same number of fingers and toes that they started with.
