Hi All,
I have to give a safety briefing for a (TA) Orienteering weekend out in the field, I think i have most of it covered but is there a list i should follow or do you make it up for the Ex you are doing?
Thank you
The Weather
The Equipment check.
The location of the âStartâ and âFinishâ.
The cut off time.
The importance of reporting back by that time regardless of course completion.
The area to be used â including its boundaries (e.g. stay in the forest), dangerous areas (e.g. crags), out of bounds sections (e.g. private property).
What to do if lost
Specific hazards - e.g. dangers to eyes near low branches, the risks of crossing slippery rock or of steep descents at speed.
First aid and emergency procedures
The relevance of the Country Code.
