Typical hazards & measures
Inadequate clothing
— Inform participants of the need for appropriate clothing and footwear based on the weather and farm conditions (e.g., boots for muddy areas, raincoats for wet weather). Check for compliance before departure and provide extra items if necessary.
Safeguarding
— Ensure all staff and volunteers are trained in safeguarding, and maintain appropriate adult-to-child ratios. Conduct background checks on supervisors and keep clear boundaries between participants and any unrelated adults. Regular check-ins during the visit are crucial.
Exposure to hazardous plants
— Identify and mark any hazardous plants like poison ivy. Brief participants on plant identification and instruct them to avoid contact with unfamiliar vegetation.
Slips, trips, and falls
— Ensure suitable footwear is worn, mark uneven surfaces, and instruct participants on safe movement in wet or rough terrain. Provide close supervision to guide participants on designated paths and avoid hazardous areas.
Falling from heights
— Restrict climbing on farm structures like bale stacks, ladders, or fences. Supervise participants closely around potential fall hazards, and limit access to unsafe areas.
