Health & Safety Policy Statement 

The Vale of Glamorgan Agricultural Society is committed to the minimum standard as laid down in 

the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and wherever possible higher standards will be maintained 

to ensure the overall safety of all those involved in organising and visiting the Vale of Glamorgan 

Agricultural Show. The Society will review their policy statement annually as required by the Health & 

Safety at Work Act 1974. 

The Society’s full Safety Policy and relevant Risk Assessments are located in the General Secretary’s 

Office. 

Personnel Responsible for Health and Safety 

The Show Committee have overall responsibility for all aspects of health and safety, and will encourage 

at all times the co-operation of Members, Exhibitors and the Public to comply with standards laid down 

in the policy statement. A health and safety co-ordinator will be appointed annually by the Society, who 

will arrange suitable training and provide relevant information. 

The co-ordinator’s responsibilities will be as follows: 

i To implement the Society’s health and safety policy and to report to the Society on all matters 

relating to the performance of health and safety. 

ii To provide training to any fellow members, stewards or assistants. 

iii To enforce any health and safety requirements that may arise from the organisation of the Show. 

iv 

v 

To liaise with all relevant public bodies. 

To maintain a record of all accidents, investigate them when necessary and wherever possible 

advise on techniques of preventing them. 

The co-ordinator will be based at the Show Office and will be provided with a radio hand set in order that 

he may be contacted immediately at all times during show day. 

Accident and First Aid 

The priorities are: 

i The safe treatment of the injured person which will be administered by 

a Red Cross 

b The Society’s appointed General Practitioners. 

The first aid and medical room is located near to the main show office. 

ii Immediate action to prevent recurrence 

iii All accidents no mater how small, should be reported to the Society at all times. 

Livestock Exhibitors 

All exhibitors must take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and any other person 

who may be affected by their acts or omissions. 

DUE TO CLOSE PROXIMITY OF AIRPORT, IT IS ADVISED THAT ANIMALS UNUSED TO NOISE 

DISTRACTIONS OF THIS LEVEL SHOULD BE TIED AT ALL TIMES. 

After visiting the livestock area of the showfield it is advised that all persons should wash their hands 

thoroughly in order to reduce the chance of any infection. 

Hard Hats 

Anyone riding a horse, pony or donkey must wear a hat to British Standard specifications and of a 

standard approved by the governing body of their respective horse or pony association. 

Spray Dipping of Sheep 

The use of any substance containing toxic chemicals including sheep dips to prepare sheep for showing 

whilst on the show ground is strictly forbidden. 

Dogs 

Exhibitors in the dog section are reminded of their general duty of care to take adequate precautions 

to prevent dogs biting any other person. In all other circumstances, dogs are not encouraged onto the 

show field, and must be kept on a lead at all times. All responsible owners are encouraged to dispose of 

dog faeces safely to reduce the risk of possible infection to other users of the show field.

Cattle Exhibits 

Exhibitors of cattle should take extreme care in the handling of their exhibits and in the case of bulls they 

should familiarise themselves with HSE guidance note. 

It is the policy of the Society to: 

i Require 2 handlers of any bull of a recognised dairy breed, eg Holstein, Ayrshire, Guernsey etc. 

ii One experienced handler of all other breeds of bull, on the proviso that a competent second 

person is standing by to assist in the control of the bull if necessary. 

The Chief Cattle Stewards have authority to insist on more handlers with any one exhibit if necessary. 

Trade Exhibitors 

All exhibitors must take reasonable care for health and safety of themselves and all other persons who 

may be affected by their acts or omissions. 

Show Stands 

All marquees etc must be soundly constructed, erected and safe for their intended use and comply with 

the latest relevant codes of practice. All show marquees operate a strictly no smoking policy. 

No pesticides or any other hazardous substance is to be displayed on trade stands. Only empty 

containers should be displayed if necessary. 

Any trade stand operating plant and machinery for demonstration purposes must ensure that this is 

done by a fully trained operator, and that adequate precautions are taken to protect by standers. In 

such circumstances, correct protective clothing should be worn at all times, eg. any person using a chain 

saw should have the relevant protective clothing. 

All fence, post and flag holes must be refilled and returned. 

Electricity 

The show field provides no mains electricity and trade exhibits and caterers may use portable 

generators provided that they are adequately maintained and all cables and extension leads in good 

order. Exhibitors should ensure that the “noise muffling” of generators carried out in such a way that 

an increased fire risk is not presented. Any petrol/deisel for use in generators should be stored safely 

in a proper container and dispensed with extreme caution. All generators must have a suitable fire 

extinguisher. 

LPG 

Trade exhibits and caterers will be allowed to use LPG provided that all equipment and nozzles have 

been checked by a competent person. Familiarization with HSE guidance “The keeping of LPG in 

cylinders and similar containers” is preferred. The maximum number of containers permissible for any 

one trade stand or catering unit will be 2. 

Fire Extinguishers 

All trade exhibitors must have access to a suitable fire extinguisher and have a person fully competent in 

the use thereof. 

Catering 

It is the responsibility of all trade stands providing hospitality catering and mobile catering units to 

ensure that they comply with all relevant Food Hygiene Regulations and with any by-laws as enforced by 

the Environmental Health Department of the Vale of Glamorgan Council. 

Fairground Rides 

All operators of fairground rides should ensure that their equipment complies with all relevant standards 

as recommended by the Showman’s Guild. 

All electrical equipment should be safe and adequately maintained. 

Operators of rotating rides should ensure that barriers are erected to protect any bystander whilst the 

ride is in motion. 

The Society reserves the right to foreclose any activity or operation which is deemed not to be 

safe and poses an unreasonable danger to the public.
