Typical hazards & measures
Vehicle accidents (arrival/departure)
— Designate safe drop-off and pick-up zones away from pedestrian areas. Ensure adults supervise the movement of vehicles, and participants are safely guided to and from their designated areas. Use cones or signs to mark traffic lanes.
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.
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.
Sunburn
— Require participants to use sunscreen (SPF 30+), wearing hats and long-sleeve shirts when necessary. Provide shade areas during peak sun hours. Encourage frequent reapplication of sunscreen and hydration, especially during midday outdoor activities.
Lost participants
— Establish a buddy system, where no participant is allowed to leave camp or hike alone. Provide maps of the area and hold regular headcounts, especially before and after transitions. Ensure leaders carry communication devices at all times.
