WELCOME MESSAGE FROM HON PAUL PAPALIA CSC MLA, MINISTER FOR TOURISM

DEVELOPMENT

Make Smoking History Forest Rally 5-7 April 2019

The McGowan Government is a proud sponsor of the Make Smoking History Forest Rally through its Regional Events Scheme. The scheme was devised as a way for the Government to support smaller and emerging events in regional Western Australia to boost tourism, increase community vibrancy and participation, and develop regional areas. The Regional Events Scheme plays an important role in positioning Western Australia as an exciting destination to visit and a great place to live by showcasing and promoting a region’s unique and diverse attractions. Sixty-nine diverse regional events across Western Australia have been funded through the 2018-19 Regional Events Scheme. This year’s round includes the Regional Aboriginal Events Scheme with a funding pool of $150,000 exclusively allocated to events delivering Aboriginal activities and experiences. Tourism is a key pillar of the McGowan Government’s plan to diversify the economy, create jobs and develop business opportunities, especially in regional Western Australia. To achieve this we have a two-year action plan in place to help us attract more visitors to Western Australia, encourage them to stay longer, disperse further and do more while they are here. We hope everyone enjoys the event and takes the time to explore the South West region.

Smoking around friends and family while they’re quitting makes it much harder for them to stop. In fact, it’s one of the biggest reasons quit attempts fail. makesmokinghistory.org.au

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME The West Australian Car Club (Inc.) takes great pleasure in welcoming all competitors to the 2019 Make Smoking History Forest Rally, Round 1 of the CAMS Australian Rally Championship® and the WA Rally Championship We are looking forward to a weekend of motorsport like no other with the Super Special Stage in Busselton, technical gravel roads out in Nannup and the Shannons Busselton Sprint. We are running early April in 2019 to avoid as many clashes with other events as possible. Competitors are reminded to book accommodation early as there are numerous events around this time and it is leading into the school holidays. Many spectators and crews will be making it a long weekend, giving us a good crowd of spectators to cheer on the rally, especially on Friday evening at Barnard Park in Busselton. This year there are a few changes compared to previous years events. There have even been some major changes since the draft regulations have been published. Due to the massive bush fires in the region, it has been necessary to change stages and itinerary. Please make sure you use the latest itinerary at all times. Despite the fires, there is still a great challenge to competitors and the stages affected will be back next year for competition. The Nannup Service Park is now back on the Main Street of Nannup, so please support the local businesses and community that loves having the rally in town. The Nannup stages have the new Range Special Stage and a highly revised Folly Special Stage for 2019. Clubman competitors will also be able to experience the Galena Special Stage on Saturday. We hope you enjoy them. To start the event, the Trade Hire Busselton Super Stage will be run in reverse direction for SS1 and normal direction for SS2, with new entry and exits to the stage. In order to reduce the amount of time away and to help save everyone some money, we are continuing to have Testing on Thursday morning and Recce will take place on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. The VIP Ride Day will take place early Friday afternoon. For 25 years our event has been sponsored by Healthway. Since 2017, we have been the Make Smoking History Forest Rally, as we support the Cancer Council of WA message to eliminate Smoking. Make Smoking History specifically seeks to:

• Influence public opinion and policy on key smoking and health issues • Raise awareness of the harms of smoking and the benefits of quitting • Assist smokers to quit by providing them with information and resources to help plan their quit attempt

We will be using the easy to use Forest Rally Online Entry Form. After submitting your Entry, you will receive another form to fill in for your Service Crew and Vehicles. Competitors are also requested to acknowledge, thank and support wherever and whenever possible the other event sponsors including Tourism Western Australia, Royalties for Regions, Department of Regional Development and Lands, Trade Hire, Scott Print, AAAC Towing and Shannon’s Insurance. Our media supporters will ensure that the Make Smoking History Forest Rally will be very well promoted throughout Western Australia both before and during the Rally. Please recognise the efforts of the West Australia Regional newspapers including the local paper The Busselton-Dunsborough Times and the south west radio stations Hit FM and Radio West. The 2019 Make Smoking History Forest Rally could not be run without the support of the local councils in Busselton and Nannup, The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, the Forest Products Commission, the Police and all the local community groups and Businesses who assist us in making the rally run. And last, but definitely by no means least; the Make Smoking History Forest Rally has a team of over four hundred and fifty (450) dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers. Many of these people spend the week prior to the rally in Busselton and or Nannup carrying out last minute preparations to ensure that nothing is forgotten. Sometimes they spend long days and nights in varying weather conditions but consider it “all part of the fun” and necessary to ensure the rally’s success. Please take the time to thank the officials for the support they give us all to make it possible for the rally to run. Once again welcome to our event this year. We hope you have a safe and exciting event and remember, if there is anything that we can do to assist you either before or during the event please do not hesitate to give me a call. John Gibbons Clerk of the Course

empty containers may be subject to a removal fee • When necessary as part of service (i.e. changing a fuel tank or pump), emptying and/or refilling is

permitted in a service park provided that: o the work is carried out under the supervision of a marshal, o no other work is carried out on the car during the emptying and/or refilling operation, o a suitable safety perimeter is established around the car, o two fire marshals are present with fire extinguishers suitable for use on flammable liquids, o only sufficient fuel is added to reach the next refuel zone.

• Competitors may refuel only in the refuel zones designated by the Organisers in their road book. • The refuel zones will be established in the liaison shortly after the service exit control. The entry/exit

shall be marked by a blue fuel can symbol. • Fuel may only be placed in the Refuel Zone on Saturday or Sunday of the rally and maybe left over

night. The compound is locked but there is no manned security. • Decanting of fuel between containers may only be done within a Refuel Zone. • Any action inside a refuelling zone not directly involved in the refuelling of the competing vehicle is

prohibited. • It is recommended that mechanics wear fire-resistant clothing, including gloves, balaclava and

goggles. • The responsibility for refuelling is incumbent on the competitor alone and must be done in manner

that ensures that no fuel is spilt. • Engines must be switched off throughout the refuelling operation. • It is recommended that the crew remain outside the car during refuelling; however, should they

remain inside, the safety belts must be unfastened. • In the event of a breakdown, the car concerned may be pushed out of the zone without incurring a

penalty. An external battery may be used immediately before the exit of the zone. • Any breaches of the refuel regulations will be reported to the Stewards of the Meeting for

consideration of exclusion or other penalty.

Some guidance on what to do in an emergency medical situation is listed below. The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice. It is highly recommended that first aid training is undertaken, as these skills can’t be learned in an emergency. 13.1 MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT ACTION PLAN In case you are the first person to arrive at a motor vehicle accident site

• Check for victims in all crashed vehicles and look around for dazed or confused people • Check if anyone is unconscious • Do not remove unconscious victims from their car unless they are in danger of further injury and

require life-saving first aid • Encourage conscious people to remain as still as possible

Assisting an injured person following the DRSABC action plan:

Danger Response Send for help Airways Breathing Circulation DANGER – Check for danger / make sure it is safe to approach the injured person. Be aware of fuel spills and live wires. RESPONSE – Check whether the injured person is conscious by shaking them lightly and/or asking simple questions. If they have a helmet on, do NOT remove the helmet if they are unconscious. AIRWAY – Open and protect the airway. If the injured person is still in the car, lift their jaw forward and tilt the head back gently to neutral position. If the injured person is out of car roll them onto their side. Remember that a neck injury may have been sustained so minimise neck movements and support their neck whilst they are being rolled to prevent any further damage to their neck and spine. BREATHING – Once the injured person is on their side, clear their mouth of any obstructions (such as blood, vomit or loose teeth). CIRCULATION – Apply direct pressure with bandages or clothing to stop any bleeding. Elevate bleeding limbs if possible. Keep the injured person as still as possible. Do NOT remove any impaled objects.


Making the scene safer

• Warn oncoming traffic (wave to slow down or use your hazard lights) • Avoid fires by turning off the ignition in crashed vehicles, extinguish any lit cigarettes

Placing an injured person in the Recovery Position

• Kneel beside the victim. • Place the victim’s arm that is furthest from you at right angles to their body. Fold their other arm

across their chest. • Bend the victim’s knees closest to you and straighten the other. • Hold the victim’s hip & shoulder that is closest to you and gently roll them onto towards the other

side. • If help is available, steady the head & neck whilst turning & support any broken limbs. • Loosen clothing at the neck, chest & waist. • Tilt the head back & point the face slightly toward the ground so that blood & vomit can drain. • If the victim is unconscious & breathing leave them on their side & monitor that their airway remains

clear. Sending for help

• Never leave unconscious victims alone • Dial 000 for emergency services • Stop a pedestrian or passing motorist if help is needed • Provide emergency services with as much information as possible: location of accident, number of

victims, conscious or unconscious 13.2 CARDIO-PULMONARY RESUSCITATION C.P.R. Chest compressions-only CPR If you have not been trained in CPR or are worried about giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a stranger, you can do chest compression-only (or hands-only) CPR. Chest compressions are the most important part of CPR. Start chest compressions as soon as possible after calling for help. To carry out chest compressions on an adult:

1. Place the heel of your hand on the breastbone at the centre of the person's chest. Place your other hand on top of your first hand and interlock your fingers.

2. Using your body weight (not just your arms), press straight down on their chest, by one-third of the chest depth.

3. Repeat this until help arrives or the person recovers. Try to give 100 chest compressions per minute. Chest compressions with rescue breaths If you are on your own, then do 30 chest compressions (almost two compressions per second) followed by two rescue breaths. If there is more than one rescuer available, then make sure:

• one person calls triple zero (000) for an ambulance • one person starts chest compressions immediately.

Then, one person does the compressions and the other person does the rescue breaths, continuing the cycle of 30 compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths. It is very tiring doing CPR, so if possible swap between doing rescue breaths and compressions, so you can keep going with effective compressions.


13.3 HEAT EXHAUSTION When the body gets hot it sweats and the evaporation of water cools the body down. When we sweat we lose body fluids and salts. The loss of excessive body fluids and salts can result in HEAT EXHAUSTION. Signs & Symptoms

• feeling hot, exhausted, weak and fatigued • persistent headache • thirst and nausea • giddiness and faintness • rapid breathing and shortness of breath • pale, cool, clammy skin • rapid, weak pulse.

Management of Heat Exhaustion

1. Move the patient to lie down in a cool place with circulating air. 2. Loosen tight clothing and/or remove unnecessary garments. 3. Sponge the patient with cool water. 4. Give the conscious patient fluids to drink. 5. Seek medical attention if the patient vomits or does not recover quickly.

Remember – The very young, elderly and the sick are easily affected by heat, and fluids should be offered every hour. 13.4 SUNBURN Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancers in the world. Prevention is the best cure and UV filter cream should always be worn and re-applied after bathing. A protective wide brimmed hat should be worn. Management of Sunburn – Cool the sunburn with water and stay out of the sun. Drink plenty of fluids.

Remember: Slip on some sun-protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible. Slop on broad spectrum, water resistant SPF30+ (or higher) sunscreen. Put it on 20 minutes before you go outdoors and every two hours afterwards. Sunscreen should never be used to extend the time you spend in the sun. Slap on a hat – broad brim or legionnaire style to protect your face, head, neck and ears. Seek shade. Slide on some sunglasses – make sure they meet Australian Standards. 13.5 HEAT STROKE This is a serious condition. At this stage the body no longer sweats to cool down and the core body temperature is no longer maintained at a normal level. Signs & Symptoms

• high body temperature of 40°C or more • flushed and dry skin • pounding rapid pulse • headache, nausea and/or vomiting • dizziness and visual disturbances • irritability and mental confusion which may progress to seizure and unconsciousness.

Management of Heat Stroke
