Typical hazards & measures
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.
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.
Severe weather, wind and lightning
— Check forecasts, drop canopies in high winds, and suspend exposed activity under the 30/30 lightning rule. Move to solid shelter or vehicles, and wait 30 minutes after the last thunder before resuming.
Campsite selection and layout
— Choose level, well-drained ground away from hazards and overhead lines. Map clear paths to water/toilets, pitch leaders to oversee approaches and tent doors, and brief boundaries, quiet hours, and muster points at arrival.
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.
