Typical hazards & measures
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.
Surface water run-off and flash flooding
— Avoid dips, dry riverbeds and obvious run-off channels. Check local flood maps and recent upstream rainfall, pitch on raised ground, and pre-plan an elevated muster with an early-move trigger if heavy rain persists.
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.
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.
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.
