The report identified concerns about the adequacy of checks for headscarves, loose clothing and hair, the condition and mechanical checks of karts, and the training and monitoring of track marshals.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of evidence of effective training and monitoring of track marshals

    Wider context from the report

    “Whilst I received evidence that the system at Capital Karts has changed so that a person wearing a headscarf is now required to remove the item in reception and that must be witnessed, I continue to have a concern that there is a risk of future deaths. 1. I am concerned about the current system's apparent reliance on checks at the reception area, particularly when it comes to long hair, which obviously cannot be removed and so may be untucked from a suit or come out of a suit before karting commences. 2. A current race director, who was a race director on 6 August 2021, stated it was a regular occurrence that track marshals did not spot loose clothing or hair outside a race suit. He said that when he raised this with marshals he would notice an improvement but then see a lapse again. 3. CCTV of the pit lane from 6 August 2021 showed a number of people with long hair hanging loose outside the race suits. The duty manager said that this hair and Ruwaida's headscarf were missed but had no idea why this happened. 4. Capital Karts conducted spot checks and used 'mystery shoppers' as part of the supervision of staff. This system has been used since 2013, i.e. was in operation at the time of Ruwaida's death. 5. There was no evidence about changes to training and/ or monitoring of tracks marshals (asopposed to staff working in reception). 6. My concern is increased by the evidence of Capital Karts' managing director during the inquest. At various points in his evidence he said that, on 6 August 2021, his staff "did their job", followed their training and did the checks they were required to do prior to racing (or words to that effect). As a result of the evidence from the managing director, I have a concern about the nature of Capital Karts' understanding of, and commitment to, addressing the concerns identified in the inquest about the adequacy of checks on clothing performed by marshalls ”

    Reliance on reception-area checks that do not reliably identify long hair outside race suits
