Outdoor Safety Risk Planning

Help Maia and her whānau plan a safe outdoor day. Read the trip plan. For questions asking what you would do, explain a sensible choice that reduces risk.

The trip plan

Maia’s group plans a coastal walk and picnic. The forecast says strong winds and showers after midday. The track has a steep, exposed section and a stream crossing. Mobile coverage is unreliable. The group includes two people who have not walked this track before.

Spot the hazards

1.Name two hazards described in the trip plan and describe one possible harm from each.
2.In this trip plan, identify one hazard and explain the risk it creates. Use the words hazard and risk correctly.
3.Choose the best preparation for changeable, wet weather on this walk.
  • Wear cotton clothes and take an umbrella.
  • Wear warm layers and a waterproof jacket, and carry spare dry clothing in a waterproof bag.
  • Wear sandals so wet shoes can dry quickly.
  • Take only a light jumper because the walk will keep everyone warm.

Make a safer plan

4.Before leaving, what information should Maia give a responsible adult who is not on the trip? Include at least three details.
5.The group reaches the stream and finds the water higher and faster than expected. What should they do, and why?
6.Maia’s friend says, “We’ve done this before, so the weather won’t matter.” Write one respectful reply that explains why the group should still check conditions and be ready to change plans.
7.Select all actions that can reduce risk on this trip.
  • Check the latest weather and track information before setting out.
  • Stay together and agree on a meeting point if separated.
  • Keep walking even if someone is cold or unwell.
  • Carry suitable food, water, warm clothing and a first-aid kit.
  • Tell a responsible adult the route and return time.
8.If someone is seriously injured and the group has no mobile coverage, what is a sensible first response?
9.Create a five-point safety check for Maia’s group. Include one check before leaving, one item to carry, one way to stay together, and one reason to turn back.
