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.
Ticks and vector-borne disease
— Keep grass-edge routes short, recommend long sleeves/trousers and repellent, and conduct daily tick checks. Remove with a proper tool, record bites, and advise parents on symptoms that need follow-up.
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.
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.
Carbon monoxide from BBQs/stoves in shelters
— Keep all combustion outdoors. Do not move lit or cooling coals into tents, awnings, cabins or vehicles. Brief on CO symptoms and move anyone unwell to fresh air while calling for medical help.
