Typical hazards & measures
Heat stroke
— Provide regular shade breaks and encourage participants to stay hydrated. Schedule activities during cooler parts of the day. Watch for early signs of heat stroke, such as dizziness or nausea, and respond immediately by moving affected individuals to cooler areas.
Weather changes
— Continuously monitor real-time weather reports before and during the activity. Have an alternative site or plan ready in case of deteriorating conditions, and evacuate participants early if weather worsens. Communicate forecast changes promptly to all.
Sunburn
— Provide high SPF sunscreen and mandate reapplication every 2 hours or after swimming. Participants should wear UV-blocking clothes and hats. Schedule sessions during cooler times of the day and provide shade during breaks.
Exertion during swimming
— Tailor the session length and intensity to the fitness level of the group. Include frequent rest breaks, both on land and in the water, and provide floatation devices to reduce physical strain. Encourage participants to signal if they feel fatigued.
Cold water exposure
— Snorkelers must wear properly fitted wetsuits or thermal layers and be monitored for hypothermia. Immediate access to warm spaces and blankets post-session should be ensured. Early exit protocols should be in place for participants showing signs of cold exposure.
