Typical hazards & measures
Inclusion and reasonable adjustments
— Adapt routes, roles, and equipment. Pair participants thoughtfully and capture adjustments in plans. Provide seated options, tactile markers, and lighter loads.
Spotting for low elements and trust tasks
— Teach spotting stance, hands-up ready, eyes on participant. Set controlled heights and pad landing zones. Rehearse falls at low level first; limit group size; assign a lead spotter to pause attempts immediately if unsafe.
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.
Water-adjacent venues
— Mark stand-off lines from edges; brief “no-enter water” rules. Assign banks-men, carry throwlines, and identify access points. Avoid slippery banks and halt tasks in high flows or poor visibility.
Physical exertion and fitness screening
— Collect relevant medical info and ask about injuries. Offer gradated task options and self-pacing. Rotate roles to balance workload and build in recovery breaks. Leaders monitor for overexertion and step participants down early if needed.
