With 200,000 visitors expected over four days, the Monaco Grand Prix is calling on 270 international first-responders to deal with the many risks that spectators may encounter. From heat exhaustion to falling down the stairs, here’s how to guard against the most common hazards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monaco is pulling out all the stops to cope with the scale of the event and the huge influx of visitors. The Monegasque Red Cross has stepped up its emergency response as part of an overall joint effort by local players such as the SBM and Be Safe, the Police Department, the Fire Service and the CHPG. “We are fielding 270 first-responders and volunteers with delegations from England, Andorra, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Italy and Switzerland,” <\/em>explained Philippe Giuffra, Director of First Aid at the Monegasque Red Cross, at the teams’ general briefing on Wednesday 21 May at the Auditorium Rainier III. A high-precision organisation aimed at anticipating issues that are magnified by the size of the crowds that will be flocking to the Principality.<\/p>\n\n\n

The main risks in the stands: heat and dehydration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The statistics speak for themselves: “Minor injuries and ailments account for around half of our interventions,” <\/em>explains Philippe Giuffra. While many of them are due to the heat, that is not the only risk factor. The festive evening events during the Grand Prix also cause their share of complications: “Overdoing it during the festivities can lead to dehydration and weakness, which in turn can cause you to feel faint, or fall in the stands the next morning,”<\/em> the expert adds. To avoid these issues, the advice is basic but crucial: “you need to stay sufficiently hydrated to prevent heatstroke.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
