COVID-19 Safety Procedures

INTRODUCTION
These procedures are developed to ensure the safe running of Cairns Crocs Triathlon Club events, in a COVID-19
environment. They are to ensure the safest environment is created for Athletes, Volunteers, Officials, Spectators
and Members of the General Public.

GENERAL COVID-19 INFORMATION
Transmission
COVID-19 is highly transmissible from person-to-person and readily spreads to close contacts of infected
individuals. The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth
which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and
surfaces around the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces
(fomites), then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in
droplets from a person with COVID-19. The virus can persist in the air for up to three hours and on a
variety of surfaces for up to 72 hours.
Prevention
Pre-emptive low-cost interventions such as enhanced hygiene and social distancing measures reduce
numbers of cases through several mechanisms. Social distancing decreases the risk of transmission by
reducing incidence of contact while enhanced hygiene reduces disease transmission, if a contact occurs.

REMEMBER: Do not attend the event if you are sick or showing signs and symptoms of COVID19 – Fever –
Cough – Runny Nose – Extreme Fatigue. If you are in doubt, don’t attend.
Everyone attends the event will be required to provide Contact Tracing details, Name, Phone Number and email address.
There will be a health Check prior to registration, and when entering the site, prior to registration.
Remember to Keep Social distancing when you are on site – 1.5m Between each person that are not in family groups.
Whilst we love spectators, the less people that are pnm site the safer we all will be. Please try to attend with as few people as possible, to ensure we cam comply with the requirements to social distance.
There will be NO Recovery nutrition provided at this event – so please plan accordingly.
To reduce the congregation of persons, registration will be staggered, and starts will be in waves.
There will be 6 waves of approx. 25 Persons per wave.
Wave start times will be allocated Saturday Morning. Please arrive at the time for your wave to register, as this will keep the flow of the event smooth and reduce the requirement for persons to crowd.

Results will be posted online as soon as practical after the event.
There will be hand sanitiser strategically placed throughout the race precinct and in the toilettes, please ensure you regularly disinfect your hands, especially after touching surfaces.

Bike Check-in

Bike check-in is compulsory for all individuals and at least one team member. Please wear your helmet for the check-in. Immediately prior to bike check-in Triathlon Queensland (TQ) officials will carry out a visual inspection of your helmet. Your helmet therefore must be correctly fastened on your head when you present your bike for check-in. This visual inspection is not a certification of function or safety effectiveness.

TQ officials will visually inspect your bike and no bike will be accepted unless it passes the
inspection. The officials will be checking for: handlebar plugs, tyres in reasonable condition, stripped cables etc. The ends of the handlebars must be plugged – please ensure no bare metal. The bike must have two functional brakes.

Please note that the bike check-in is a safety precaution to monitor basic soundness of your bike and is essentially a visual check on obvious defects. It is not a certification of roadworthiness by TQ or that your bike meets any specific minimum criteria or a guarantee it will not break down during the race.

It is your sole responsibility to ensure the mechanical and safe operation of your bike prior
to and during the race.

the course and the rules of Triathlon. Please check out our course maps on the homepage. The use of unauthorised equipment such as cell phones, MP3 players, Oakley
