The Queensland Chamber of Agricultural Societies Inc. considers that any Judge, Steward or Person who is affected by alcohol or drugs
while performing a duty at an Agricultural Show or Show Committee organised function, is considered an unacceptable form of behaviour,
which will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
The Chamber considers that all persons assisting at a Show or function should be free of any intimidation or embarrassment caused by
any person who is affected by alcohol or drugs.
The Executive of the Show Society or person in charge of the Event must ensure that any Judge, Steward or Person is not subject to any
behaviour, which is a personal embarrassment to the Members of the Show Society or renders the Show Society in disrepute.
Any reports of alcohol or drug abuse will be treated seriously and action will be taken immediately to remedy the problem.
Disciplinary action may be taken against any person who is in breach of these protocols.
Any Judge, Steward or person affected by alcohol or drugs by their actions may be liable under the Workplace, Health and Safety Act.
Disciplinary action arising from any incident involving alcohol or drug abuse may involve a warning, dismissal or referral to authorities.
