It is brought to the Committee's notice that a number of rallies are not completely complying with the NHMA Safety Guidelines. The Committee is not a self appointed group to police our guidelines. This issue is in YOUR club's hands; let us be "up front" with this, non-compliance WILL eventually lead to incidents/accidents. Should a serious accident occur the best that can come out of it will be a sharp rise in our insurance premium. The next best is that Work Cover/Work Safe will step in and possibly restrict the displays. The worst case would be our inability to obtain insurance.
The Guidelines do not ask much more than "common sense" so with a little more planning and effort clubs can work quite safely within these Guidelines. The Committee of Management appeals to member clubs for their support in this matter.
Grateful thanks must go to TOMMS magazine for publishing this report, as this is one of the best ways to get the message across to vintage machinery enthusiasts.
The following is an excerpt from the NHMA newsletter # 53.
