Typical hazards & measures
Manual handling in team tasks
— Brief team-lift commands (“ready-lift, step, turn”), plan routes, and clear set-down spots. Use trolleys or sliders for awkward loads. Keep lifts below shoulder height and rotate lifters frequently. Stop if communication breaks down.
Warm-up and musculoskeletal strain
— Lead 5–10 minutes of dynamic mobility and pulse-raising drills before physical tasks. Demonstrate technique cues and end with a short cool-down. Flag “opt-out” for those needing gentler prep.
Supervision ratios and safeguarding
— Set ratios for terrain, group age, and risk; position leaders strategically. Vet adults, brief roles, and ensure no leader is alone with a child. Track headcounts and handovers.
PPE fit and use (helmets, harnesses, gloves)
— Issue size-appropriate PPE; check fit by a competent leader. Explain limits (helmets don’t prevent all injury). Replace damaged kit immediately. Keep spares on hand and record issue/return for accountability.
Navigation and route-finding tasks
— Teach basic map/compass skills; define checkpoints, cut-offs, and rendezvous times. Use buddy pairs and periodic radio/phone check-ins. Carry a spare map and set a firm “return by” time.
