Lightning Saftey Policy

• The Lightning Safety Code is based on the 30 / 30 rule.• The 30 / 30 Rule requires for play to be stopped when the

lightning / thunder ratio reaches 30 seconds or less. (ie the time between when the lightning is seen and the thunder is heard is 30 seconds or less).

• This means that the lightning is 10km away and the next strike has a “significant risk” of hitting the people who have seen the lightning and heard the thunder.

• Play should not commence until 30 minutes after the last time lightning is observed or thunder is heard. Each time lightning is observed or thunder is heard, the 30 minute clock should be re-started.
