Typical hazards & measures
Tent spacing and fire spread
— Pitch tents at least ~6 m apart and keep exits facing open routes. Do not store fuel or cook in tents. Keep guy lines tidy, avoid blocking escape paths with kit, and post a simple site plan showing exits and assembly points.
Food safety: chilling and the danger zone
— Pre-chill coolers, keep high-risk foods ≤8 °C, minimise time between prep–cook–serve, and discard perishable leftovers that exceed safe time/temperature windows. Keep dairy and salads properly chilled until service.
Gas stove/LPG mishandling
— Use correct regulators/hoses and leak-test with soapy water after each change. Keep cylinders upright and outside, never refuel hot appliances, restrict changeovers to trained adults, and record checks and faults.
Potable water sourcing and storage
— Use marked potable taps or bring certified drinking water. Sanitise containers before filling, label “drinking only,” keep spouts covered, and avoid decanting between mixed-use jerrycans. Treat or boil if quality is uncertain.
First aid, AED and emergency plan
— Appoint a medical lead, place stocked first-aid and burns kits near the kitchen, and test any AED on site. Post grid reference and access instructions, drill the emergency plan on arrival, and debrief after incidents.
