Fire and cooking hazards
— Restrict fires to designated areas with adult supervision at all times. Establish clear fire safety rules, including safe distances, no running near fire pits, and secure clothing. Supervise cooking activities carefully, ensuring burn kits are accessible. Mark fire pit boundaries clearly and keep water or fire blankets nearby.
Food poisoning
— Maintain proper food storage, keeping perishables in coolers. Implement strict handwashing before food prep and eating. Regularly clean all kitchen areas and utensils, ensuring no cross-contamination between raw and cooked foods.
Sharp tool injuries
— Allow only trained individuals to handle axes, knives, and saws, and supervise all woodcutting activities. Provide safety training on correct tool handling techniques and store tools securely when not in use to prevent accidents.
Personal property theft
— Advise participants to leave valuables at home or provide secure storage options. Assign leaders to monitor the campsite for any unauthorized individuals. Educate participants on safeguarding their belongings during the trip.
