Typical hazards & measures
Vehicle breakdown
— Perform a thorough vehicle check before departure, including tire pressure, fluids, and lights. Equip the vehicle with emergency tools like a spare tire, first aid kit, and phone. Have a roadside assistance number ready.
Lack of sufficient transport capacity
— Assess group size and transport needs early. Book additional vehicles if necessary to ensure adequate space for passengers and equipment. Conduct pre-trip checks to ensure compliance with vehicle capacity limits.
Lack of experience in rural or off-road driving
— Train drivers in rural or off-road navigation before departure. Equip vehicles with appropriate tires and emergency tools such as spare tires and maps. Plan alternative routes in case of impassable terrain.
Inappropriate emergency procedures
— Train all adults in emergency evacuation procedures and accident response. Make sure children are aware of the steps to take during emergencies. Maintain communication devices for rapid coordination in case of incidents.
Service stations (unaccompanied)
— If allowing older participants to visit service stations unaccompanied, set clear guidelines for behavior, establish a meeting point, and conduct regular headcounts. Provide emergency contact details to older participants and set strict time limits.
