Typical hazards & measures
Slips, trips, and uneven terrain
— Mark and highlight any slippery or uneven areas around camp, especially after rain. Use non-slip mats in high-traffic zones, particularly near kitchens and toilets. Ensure participants wear sturdy, supportive footwear and advise caution when moving around camp. Keep pathways clear and well lit at night.
Flooding
— Avoid setting up camp in low-lying areas prone to flooding. Regularly check weather forecasts and have an evacuation plan in case of heavy rains or flash floods. Set up a designated safe zone on higher ground for emergencies.
Wood cutting injuries
— Supervise participants during woodcutting activities. Provide training on safe saw and axe use, ensuring participants know proper hand and body positioning. Enforce strict tool storage rules when not in use to prevent accidents.
Crossing roads
— Supervise participants when crossing roads near the campsite. Use high-visibility clothing and clearly designate crossing points. Establish group rules about always crossing together and using specific crossing protocols for safety.
Participants with additional needs
— Conduct a pre-trip assessment to identify participants with special requirements (physical, emotional, dietary). Adapt activities and provide additional support, such as extra staff or specific equipment, to ensure inclusion and safety.
