General safety

For each activity, ask these three questions

• Do we have the right skills to carry out the activity?

• What can go wrong?

• What do we do when things go wrong?

Do the following when you are going on a trip

• Inform the management where you are going on a trip. Preferably in written form with information about the route, accommodation, length of the trip etc.

• Bring your mobile phone, charger and power bank with extra power.

• Write down relevant telephone numbers for emergency services

• Study the weather forecast for the area carefully. Print it out and bring it with you so that you are not dependent on using a mobile phone

• Plan the route so that you have the option of shortening the trip if your equipment or form fails

• Learn to use a map and compass and bring it with you!

• Train your body before longer trips

• Bring necessary and good safety equipment
