Re: Safety Award: What would you like to see?

Being a small team of eight people on a good day some things are a little out of our reach. We have made great improvements with our safety from last year to this year. Being such a small team we dont really have a safety captain, we look to each other for help. When the safety people came around this year to our pit they asked to speak to our safety captain, one of our new members offered to speak to them and the first thing they asked her was what are you doing to promote safety at this competition today, are you handing out flyers ect. He then started getting a little rude with the fact that we werent doing anything

She and I were both a little taken aback at what was happening. He then looked out the six people in the pit saying that if you had six members in the pit you should have enough people in the stands to be handing out flyers, trained in CPR ect. it was then we had to explain that the six people were all that we had this year.

Safety although easier to handle for smaller teams is much more difficult to promote and be showy with than those teams who have enough people to do so. Safety is the most important thing but when teams start getting looked down upon because they dont do the gimmicks but are being safe by themselves should not be looked down upon. I was very shocked with the way our "interview" went this year and I hope next year to not have the same issue.
