Typical hazards & measures
Falling branches
— Conduct canopy checks before each session. Avoid using areas under damaged or leaning branches. Do not allow tree climbing during craft sessions. Relocate if wind picks up.
Fire (if part of craft)
— Use fire only in designated, supervised areas. Brief children on rules before starting. Maintain safety perimeter. Have water, fire blanket and first-aid kit nearby. One adult supervises at all times.
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.
Contaminated items
— Supervise material collection to avoid sharp objects, litter, or animal waste. Perform a thorough site check before the session. Teach children to alert staff if they find unsuitable items.
Handling natural materials
— Encourage children to check natural items for sharp points or rough edges before use. Demonstrate safe carrying techniques and gentle handling. Offer gloves if needed and keep first aid available for splinter removal.
