Self-assessment guide for community event organisers: Responding to incidents...Horse SA
Organisers of community events involving animals are facing increasing public scrutiny to proactively manage animal welfare, a challenged coupled with obligations to keep volunteer workers safer in the workplace. It is when an incident occurs, and there is a potential danger to people and horses, that the organisation’s policies, procedures, and training are put into the spotlight. The introduction of large animal rescue systems into existing horse incident response plans may be one way to improve outcomes for human safety and horse welfare. Large animal rescue (LAR) provides a structure for managing a team of people, including a communication system and a set of manual handling techniques, which enable a trapped, injured or deceased horse to be manoeuvred to a safer place. This book provides a tool to evaluate response capabilities where large animal rescue techniques may be utilised.
