Outdoor Safety Risk Management

Read the scenario, identify hazards, and choose practical ways to reduce risk. If there is immediate danger in New Zealand, call 111. Follow instructions from responsible adults and activity leaders.

Scenario: The changing forecast

A group is planning a day walk on a marked New Zealand track. The forecast says rain and strong winds may arrive in the afternoon. The route has exposed sections, and mobile coverage may be patchy. The group has a responsible adult leader.

1.Which hazard in the scenario could become most dangerous if the group ignores it? Explain one possible consequence.

2.The group walks onto an exposed section without checking updated weather. Give one reasonable rating for the likelihood of being affected by the wind (low, medium or high) and one for the possible consequence. Explain your choices.

3.The group must decide what to do before leaving. Choose the best plan.

Start late and try to finish quickly before the rain.
Check the latest forecast and track conditions, tell a trusted person the route and return time, and postpone or choose a safer route if conditions are unsuitable.
Rely on mobile phones to solve any problem on the track.
Leave the warm layers behind to make the packs lighter.

4.Match each hazard with a useful control. Write the correct letter beside each number.

1. Strong sun and UV exposure
2. Getting separated from the group
3. Dehydration

C. Stay with the group and agree on a meeting plan
A. Carry water and agree on regular drink breaks
B. Wear sun protection and seek shade

5.Select the four most useful items for a wet, windy day walk from this list: warm waterproof layer, first-aid kit, water, loud music speaker, glass jar, spare snacks.

6.Halfway along the walk, the wind becomes much stronger and rain starts. What is the safest next step? Include who should make the decision and what the group should consider.

7.A trip plan should include the route, expected return time and a trusted person who knows when to raise the alarm if the group is overdue.

8.A group member has a serious injury on a track. Write two key details to tell the emergency operator when calling 111, if it is safe to make the call.

9.Give two actions that show care for other people and the natural environment during an outdoor activity.

10.Write a brief plan for a beach visit. Include one hazard to check before entering the water, one way to reduce risk, and what to do if conditions become unsafe.
