Typical hazards & measures
Water features and ponds
— Erect barriers where risk of falling exists, supervise children at all times, and post warning signs. Regularly remove algae and debris to prevent slipping and contamination. Clean water features as part of scheduled maintenance.
Public access during maintenance
— Use safety barriers, cones, and high-visibility clothing when work coincides with visiting hours. Brief volunteers to pause work when mourners are nearby, and reroute visitors respectfully around active maintenance areas.
Sun exposure and dehydration
— Encourage hats, sunscreen, and regular hydration breaks for volunteers. Limit heavy work to mornings or evenings in summer. Provide shaded seating and ensure water is always available near outdoor work areas.
Confined storage areas
— Keep sheds and crypt spaces tidy, ventilate before entry, and prohibit lone working in confined or poorly lit areas. Separate chemical storage from tools, and keep floors clear to prevent trips. Lock access when not supervised.
Protected trees and wildlife
— Identify protected species and consult authorities before work. Train volunteers to avoid nesting seasons, log interventions, and use wildlife-friendly methods of care. Rope off sensitive areas when wildlife is active.
