Typical hazards & measures
Strains or sprains from climbing
— Warm up before the activity and brief participants on proper climbing techniques, especially for handholds and footholds. Guides should assist with difficult sections and ensure proper form.
Inadequate supervision
— Maintain appropriate supervision ratios according to group size, age, and experience levels. Guides should constantly monitor participants and adjust their position to manage the group effectively. Establish a headcount system and check-in points throughout the session.
Equipment failure
— Regularly inspect all equipment, including wetsuits, helmets, and buoyancy aids, before each session. Keep spare gear on hand for replacements and perform checks throughout the day.
Entrapment in crevices
— Warn participants about narrow spaces and discourage entry into confined areas. Guide them on using handholds and foot placement to avoid becoming trapped.
Stranded by rising tide
— Route planning should always account for tidal changes. Use only safe, designated routes and constantly monitor tide times. Have emergency evacuation routes pre-planned.
