Extreme Climbing- Safety Briefing


The most important thing is that you and the team you are with return safely from your climbing trip!

Taking on challening climbs in remote areas, or .
CHECK THE AREA
    There are numerous hazards over, under and around potential pitches for your tent.
  • Check there are no sharp rocks or sticks on the ground and move them if necessary..
  • Check for overhanging branches that are rotten or could break off and land on your tent.
  • Never pitch your tent close to a water source that could flood
COOK SAFELY
    Make sure you know how to store food, and cook safely when camping.
  • Store food in airtight containers whenever possible to stop attracting insects.
  • Cook away from tents as they can burn easily and ensure smoke and fumes drifts away from open tents.
  • Ensure fire or stoves are well out and cool before moving or leaving unattended.
  • Do not leave food on the floor and bag up leftovers so it doesn’t attract wild animals.
CHILDREN
    Campsites and tents can be unfamiliar places particularly for children.
  • Check children know where they can and cannot walk/play.
  • Keep children away from BBQs and cooking areas.
  • Make sure children know how to get in and out of their tent safely.
  • Put highlight strips on guy lines to make them stand out and not become a trip hazard.
SECURITY
    Keep you and your valuables safe and secure when camping.
  • Only take the bare essentials with you when it comes to valuables
  • Keep valuables locked in your car (if you have one) rather than you tent
  • Tents offer no sound insulation so be careful if discussing personal issues or talking about your valuables
