Typical hazards & measures
Sunburn
— Provide ample shaded areas or tents for participants to sit under. Encourage the use of sunscreen (SPF 30+), hats, and sunglasses. Offer regular reminders to reapply sunscreen, especially after sweating or swimming.
Overcrowding in small areas
— Plan the layout of the picnic to ensure ample space between groups. Mark clear pathways and seating areas to prevent overcrowding, and limit the number of participants if necessary.
Participants with additional needs
— Collect information on participants' additional needs in advance. Ensure all activities are accessible and provide necessary accommodations such as ramps, alternative seating, or sensory-friendly spaces. Assign staff to support these participants individually if necessary, and include them fully in all activities.
Windblown debris or equipment
— Secure all picnic items, including tents, blankets, and chairs. Store lightweight items in bags or containers to prevent them from being blown away. Monitor weather forecasts for high winds.
Weather-related issues
— Check the weather forecast in advance and have a contingency plan for shelter or moving indoors. Ensure participants have appropriate clothing and access to warm or dry areas.
