Typical hazards & measures
Consent-sensitive activities (blindfolds, touch, trust)
— Explain tasks and obtain active consent; offer alternatives. Avoid forced touch; define safe words. Leaders model consent-first language and adapt activities.
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.
Activity space layout and boundaries
— Survey the area; remove trip hazards and clutter. Mark clear boundaries, routes, and no-go zones with cones/flags. Set assembly and safe waiting zones. Brief the group on layout before starting and adapt markings as activities move.
Group separation and lost participant
— Use buddy systems, hi-vis bibs, and boundary briefings. Set timed check-ins and headcounts. Stop activity and search systematically if someone is missing.
Public/shared space interaction
— Cone or sign activity zones; place marshals; brief polite engagement. Keep kit tidy, avoid blocking paths. Pause for other users and de-conflict space.
