AS requested I am posting my thoughts on course working. Again these are my thoughts only that would make for safe working conditions.
- Have a minimum of 3 workers per station if possible. This can go too far as anymore than 3 or 4 tends to lead to "chatting" at the stations.
- Have at least one experienced person at each station.
-The starter needs to be aware of what is happening on course so they do not launch a car when it is unsafe.
-The worker station closest to the stop/slow down box should follow the car until it is finished as sometimes the car can spin in or near the box.
-Never turn your back on a car or if there is an overlap, workers split up and watch each car.
-No talking on cell phones and taking pictures when at a work station.
-No sitting down at a work station when there is a car on course.
-Everyone should wear a hi-vis vest.
-Use your radio and do not be afraid to call for a red flag even if you are unsure. "Better safe than sorry".
I think the rest of course working is covered under CACC rules and usually brought to attention at the driver meetings.
Please add to this if you like. I am probably missing a few key points and other people may have noticed other safety concerns.
The bottom line to alot of course working is common sense.
