Typical hazards & measures
Cross-contamination in a field kitchen
— Separate raw and ready-to-eat zones, colour-code boards/tongs, change gloves between tasks, sanitise benches on a timed rota, and store raw below ready food in coolers. Dedicate a “finished food only” table.
Safeguarding and sleeping arrangements
— Separate staff and young people, group by age/sex per policy, and keep two adults on duty overnight. Use a single, signed-in gate, issue wristbands, and restrict access to visitors with visible badges.
Heat exhaustion and dehydration
— Schedule shade breaks, set water-carry minimums, and brief early signs (dizziness, cramps, headache). Move affected pupils to shade, cool actively, and rehydrate; escalate to medical help if symptoms persist.
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.
Cold exposure and night hypothermia
— Require a 3-season bag, insulated mat and layered clothing; keep dry spares available; ban cotton sleepwear. Set a heated indoor fallback if temperatures plunge and re-assess promptly if shivering is reported.
