Typical hazards & measures
Insects and ticks
— Avoid insect-heavy zones. Remind children not to disturb nests or swat insects. Provide insect repellent if needed. Conduct tick checks post-session and record any bites. Have allergy medication onsite where relevant.
Noise or overstimulation
— Monitor volume levels. Provide quiet areas for those who need a break. Avoid loud group announcements where possible. Keep group sizes small for intense tasks.
Dropped items
— Remind children to keep tools and materials in their workspace. Designate drop zones for used items. Clear the ground regularly during and after the session to avoid tripping.
Emotional distress
— Allow children to opt out or switch tasks. Provide alternative simpler options. Offer encouragement and peer support. Take breaks as needed.
Improper carrying
— Demonstrate how to carry sticks and tools safely (pointed down, two hands, walking pace). Remind regularly and monitor during transitions.
