As a Scrutineer, I expect to have each team demonstrate that it is prepared to handle emergencies. This includes the designation of a team safety coordinator. The team will have to show me that the following equipment is easily accessible to the team: fire extinguishers (both on the solar car and the chase vehicles), traffic cones or warning triangles, orange warning flags, safety vests (for driver, safety officer, and team members entering the track or on the road), and jack stands. Jack stands must be used whenever the solar car is off the ground for maintenance.
I will also be observing the team working on their solar cars in the garage area - everyone is required to use protective eyewear in the garage. A penalty will be assessed for failure to wear protective eyewear.
