Typical hazards & measures
Impact from falling rocks
— Avoid areas known for loose rock. Provide helmets and keep participants away from unstable cliff edges or overhangs. Guides should stay alert to possible rockfalls and direct the group accordingly.
Limited mobility in emergency situations
— Plan routes that allow for multiple escape routes and easy access to emergency services. Brief the group on emergency evacuation procedures before starting the activity.
Inadequate safety equipment
— Regularly inspect and maintain all safety equipment, ensuring it meets the required standards. Provide proper fitting equipment to all participants, including buoyancy aids, helmets, and wetsuits, and ensure spares are available.
Participants with additional needs
— Identify any additional needs (physical, medical, or learning) during pre-activity assessments. Tailor the activity to suit all participants, providing extra support where needed, such as additional guides or adjusted routes. Maintain inclusivity without compromising safety.
Strong currents
— Plan routes that avoid strong currents or minimize exposure. Teach participants how to swim with the current and guide them to exit safely if necessary. Keep weak swimmers near instructors.
