32、ions at Motorsports Venues 2019 Edition This edition of NFPA 610, Guide for Emergency and Safety Operations at Motorsports Venues, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Safety at Motorsports Venues. It was issued by the Standards Council on November 12, 2017, with an effective date of December
33、2, 2017, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 610 was approved as an American National Standard on December 2, 2017. Origin and Development of NFPA 610 The 2003 edition was the rst edition of NFPA 610, Guide for Emergency and Safety Operations at Motorsports Venues. A technical
34、 committee was appointed by the NFPA Standards Council in 1998 to address the subject of safety at motorsports venues. The committee wrote this guide to assist facility owners, operators, promoters, and emergency management personnel in developing and implementing a system that provides for effectiv
35、e emergency operations at motorsports facilities and events. The guide is intended to assist with the planning for emergency operations, training and equipping emergency workers, and deploying resources at the time of an incident. These operations can lead to more effective re suppression in the eve
36、nt of a re and to improved rescue and medical care for competitors in post-crash situations, while providing for the safety of emergency response personnel working at the venue. For the 2009 edition, the application statements were revised to indicate that the document is not intended to apply to no
37、n-motorsports events conducted at a motorsports venue because such events are covered by other NFPA codes and standards. The revised document provides a better description of scalability by creating a method to classify events. This was carried through the discussion of emergency action plans. A sam
38、ple emergency action plan was included in Annex B for a simple event that is generally perceived as posing less risk of injury than that encountered in legal and responsible travel in an automobile on public roads. Revisions were made to the Emergency Action Plan Checklist in Chapter 4 to further as
39、sist persons running simple events in determining what their emergency action plan should include. The revised document recognized the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and reects the use of NIMS in managing emergency incidents at motorsports events. Chapter 5 was completely rewritten to re
40、ect a “knowledge, skill, ability” format for denoting minimum training requirements for persons expected to operate in the various positions that could be needed if an emergency were to occur at a motorsports event. The question of who can provide training to persons expected to meet the different c
41、apability levels was claried. Chapter 6 was revised to reect the latest editions of personal protective equipment (PPE) standards that can be referenced when purchasing protective equipment for emergency workers at motorsports events. Recognizing that some events are run at night, when visibility is
42、 poor, a recommendation for use of garments with retroreective trim or a light source was added. A PPE matrix was developed and added as Annex C to provide increased direction as to the type and style of PPE for the motorsports safety workers. Chapter 7 was revised to reect changes in portable re ex
43、tinguishers and extinguishing agents based on NFPA 10, Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers, including the addition of agent discharge performance for dry chemical extinguishers. The entire 2009 edition of the document was reviewed and revised to increase the clarity, usability, and understandab
44、ility of the text.EMERGENCY AND SAFETY OPERATIONS AT MOTORSPORTS VENUES 610-2 2019 Edition In the 2014 edition, the committee changed the use of an emergency action plan to an incident action plan. These changes were reected throughout the body of the document and the Sample Incident Action Plan in
45、Annex B. The new incident action plan included language for the newly dened Level I through Level III motorsports events. The committee also added a new denition for event, and referenced denitions for incipient stage and incident action plan from other NFPA documents. Other major changes in the 201
46、4 edition included the consolidation of Chapter 8 recommendations to reect a single section for all stafng information needs, updated gures and sample forms, clarication on PPE recommendations, and editorial changes throughout. The 2019 edition of NFPA 610 includes editorial revisions and updated re
47、ferences. This edition also features a revised sample incident action plan (including active shooter incidents), critical incident stress management (CISM), deployment, and changes to the number of people on site that dene a Level II and Level III motorsports event.COMMITTEE PERSONNEL 610-3 2019 Edi
