Safeguarding

Adverse weather
— Monitor weather forecasts before activities, and if severe weather is predicted (storms, high winds), reschedule or plan indoor alternatives. Ensure participants are prepared for weather conditions with appropriate clothing and shelter.
Biohazards from composting (airborne pathogens)
— Ensure compost is damp to prevent airborne particles, and participants wear dust masks if necessary. Only allow trained individuals to turn compost piles.
Beehive or insect nest disturbance
— Identify any bee or wasp nests in the area before activities begin. Provide training on how to behave calmly around bees and how to safely exit the area if necessary.
Tripping over garden debris
— Maintain a tidy work area, regularly clear away tools and debris, and ensure participants know the importance of tidiness in preventing trips and falls.
