Typical hazards & measures
Nearby water (rivers, lakes, shore)
— Map and brief hard boundaries, forbid unsupervised approach, and run waterside sessions only with controls (lifejackets, throw-lines, ratios). Headcount before/after any waterside transit and set a clear muster point.
Tree hazards (deadwood, hanging branches)
— Inspect trees above and upwind of pitches for dead limbs, cavities or fungal brackets. Avoid pitching under suspect limbs, impose a wind-trigger to vacate shaded areas, and report dangerous trees to the landowner.
Transport to/from site and on-site vehicle movement
— Use licensed operators and seatbelts; marshal boarding with cones and high-vis staff; avoid reversing near pupils; rotate rested drivers; carry a manifest, first aid and breakdown plan; and keep vehicle lanes and a 5 mph limit inside the campsite.
Hygiene, water and dishwashing
— Set a hand-wash station at kitchen entry and enforce wash-before-prep and after toilet/bins. Run a three-stage wash–rinse–sanitise system, air-dry utensils, and dispose of greywater at designated points away from streams.
Wildlife attraction to food and waste
— Store all food in sealed containers and never in sleeping tents. Bag and bin waste promptly in animal-proof receptacles, site kitchen/refuse at least 50 m from tents, and run dusk patrols to clear scraps.
