Protective clothing
You don't need to invest in a lot
of expensive clothing to go Marshalling. Try to wear natural fibres like wool or cotton next to the
skin and avoid man-made fibres. Stout, protective boots are essential
- not trainers. Make sure you cover arms even in hot weather.
Overalls, jeans, shirts and jumpers - made from
natural fibres again - and choose colours which don't clash with
flags. Gloves need to be dry and easy to remove. If they are
wet there is a danger of scalding if you touch something hot,
so carry a spare pair. The Club sells protective and wet weather
gloves at reasonable prices
If you get
the marshalling bug, then you will probably want to invest in a set of
orange Proban Overalls.
Proban is flame retardant and provides additional protection
from fires as well as protecting your ordinary clothes from damage.
Nomex underwear gives additional warmth and protection
and is also available from the club at discount prices, together
with waterproofs - a must for Marshalling in Britain - which
are made from materials which don't present a risk when dealing
with a fire.
The club also sells release knives designed for
cutting seat belts, Gesco scissors, which will cut everything
from helmet straps to metal braided hoses, seat belts and even
metal braided brake lines, clipboards, hearing protection, lap
counters, body warmers, baseball caps, jumpers, polo shirts,
safety glasses and a range of badges and stickers, all at cut
prices for members.
