The NTET publishes a Guide to Good Practice for the ‘better organisation of steam traction engine events’ which comprehensively deals with all aspects of safety, event management and control. It is presented in an easy to read and practical manner and contains many examples including event layouts and risk assessments. The RO Guide to Good Practice underpins the NTET’s Rally Authorisation Scheme and is free to organisers of Authorised Events.
Organisers of currently Authorised Events may access the RO Guide to Good Practice for viewing, downloading or printing by logging into Rally and Event Services
It may also be purchased through the Head of the Rally Organisers Section; enquiries via rally.support@ntet.co.uk
Each year, before the Rally season starts, the Rally Support Section hosts a Rally Organisers and Safety Officers Conference which is open to representatives of all types of historic vehicle rallies and events.
The aim of the Conference is to explain new legislation, share ideas and experiences and provide feedback to the Section. In addition specialist speakers are used for specific / current topics of interest.
Safety seminars can also be arranged locally depending on demand.

The NTET acknowledges its duty of care to members and to the general public and accordingly expects its members to comply with its Health and Safety policy.
As part of its Safety Policy the NTET operates a scheme which uses a distinctive, coloured disc to display to interested parties the ID and current status of Insurances, Boiler Inspections and Safe Working Pressure relating to stationary and road going steam powered engines. The disc is affixed to the depicted device in a position that affords easy scrutiny.
NTET Insurance Discs are issued to the owners and keepers of engines, either by the NTET’s Insurance Officer or by ‘Disc Issuing Insurance Agents’ who are authorised by the NTET.
Details of all discs issued are stored electronically on the NTET’s Web Services website in support of the on-line disc checking facility offered to Authorised Events. Each year the organisers of Authorised Event are issued with a unique Event Access Code and Password which provide access to the Rally and Event Services.
