32、lities and events. The guide is intended to assist with the planning for emergencyoperations, training and equipping emergency workers, and deploying resources at the timeof an incident. These operations can lead to more effective fire suppression in the event of afire and to improved rescue and med
33、ical care for competitors in post-crash situations, whileproviding for the safety of emergency response personnel working at the venue.For the 2009 edition, the application statements were revised to indicate that the docu-ment is not intended to apply to non-motorsports events conducted at a motors
34、ports venue,because such events are covered by other NFPA codes and standards. The revised documentprovides a better description of scalability by creating a method to classify events. This wascarried through the discussion of emergency action plans. A sample emergency action planwas included in Ann
35、ex B for a simple event that is generally perceived as posing less risk ofinjury than that encountered in legal and responsible travel in an automobile on publicroads. Revisions were made to the Emergency Action Plan Checklist in Chapter 4 to furtherassistpersonsrunningsimpleeventsindeterminingwhatt

37、um training requirements for persons expected to operate in the various posi-tions that could be needed if an emergency were to occur at a motorsports event. The ques-tion of who can provide training to persons expected to meet the different capability levelswas clarified.Chapter 6 was revised to re
38、flect the latest editions of personal protective equipment (PPE)standards that can be referenced when purchasing protective equipment for emergencyworkers at motorsports events. Recognizing that some events are run at night, when visibilityis poor, a recommendation for use of garments with retrorefl
39、ective trim or a light source wasadded.APPE matrix was developed and added asAnnex C to provide increased direction asto the type and style of PPE for the motorsports safety workers.Chapter 7 was revised to reflect changes in portable fire extinguishers and extinguishingagents based on NFPA 10, Stan
