A shotgun is dangerous, unless handled and loaded with safety in mind:
Always treat a shotgun as loaded until proven otherwise; forgetfulness, assumption and miscommunication can result in an injury or a fatality.
Always carry shotguns empty and open, preferably, over the arm.
An empty shotgun should only be closed when putting it in a case, rack or slip. These are the only times when even an unloaded shotgun should be closed.
Muzzle awareness – never point a shotgun, not even an unloaded one, towards another person. Other people have no way of knowing if the gun is loaded or not. Your fellow shooters should not be subjected to the potential of having an accidentally loaded gun pointed towards them.
Never mix different gauge cartridges in your pockets or cartridge bag.
Before you load a shotgun, look through the barrels and check that they are unobstructed.
If the shotgun misfires, point the muzzle down the range and wait 25 seconds before opening it.
Always check that barrels are clear after a soft or unusual discharge.
Never leave a shotgun leaning against a tree, wall or fence.
Never leave a shotgun unattended at the Event.
Never load a shotgun until you’re on the stand or in the safety cage, an obvious safety requirement to prevent danger to bystanders and accidental discharge in the direction of others.
Never close a shotgun until it’s your turn to shoot and you are ready.
Never turn towards other people with a loaded shotgun or when closing the shotgun.
Always point a loaded shotgun down the range.
If the stand has no shooting enclosure, take care not to swing the shotgun around towards people.
The gun must be opened and emptied before stepping off the stand.
Where shooters stand in a line with other shooters cartridges are to be loaded and unloaded upon the marshal’s command, e.g. “line ready”, “load” and “unload”.
If there is a problem (other than a misfire), or if a “No Target” is called, open the shotgun. If you have to clear a shotgun, shoot down range, not at the ground or near the trap house.
Open and unload the shotgun before leaving a stand or when moving between stands.
