The Safety Officer is another step forward to develop the high level of athletic competitions in the master sport movement in Europe. We have to clarify that Safety Officers act for the benefit of our sport, to protect the athletes of health damage and to make sure that the competitions follow the rules of IAAF.
2. The Aim of having Safety Officers on Duty
Safety Officers are necessary to 2.1 ensure that no athlete’s health is
endangered by the competition or event;
2.2 ensure that every competitor has motor skills to complete in the event
and maintain the integrity of the event; 2.3 ensure that program is not delayed
unnecessarily or demeaned by the performance of a competitor;
2.4 ensure that coordination and communication with medical services
personnel is such that immediate response and actions are taken to
safeguard the athletes.

4. Safety Officer on Duty
EVAA Safety Officer will be working on duty during European Veterans Athletic Championships. The Safety Officer’s main task is to take care of the health of the athletes. From experience of a decade of championships more and more athletes join the competitions without being well prepared, having not the technical skills of the discipline, and unfortunately don’t care that much about their own health. Therefore EVAA will have two Safety Officers on duty, one with a medical background and one with a technical background. We want to have championships with a high standard and competitions that follow the rules of IAAF to protect the participating athlete against health damage.
5. Presentation of the ideas (Power Point Presentation – basic of the seminar)
1EVAA Seminar - Safety Officer
The participation of one athlete to hiscompetitions is under the control ofthe Judges [as per IAAF rules]
For masters the WMA rules [Rules ofCompetitions – art. 7(6)] provide foran appointment of “Safety Judge”
EVAA Constitutions and By Laws [art.§7 of By Laws] say that: “… if notspecifically addressed WMAConstitution and Rules should beobserved as a general guideline”.
