        Hazards and Risks

        Adventurous activities involve inherent hazards and potential risks, often coupled with the severity of hazards and the likelihood of risks.

        Hazard: ‘anything’ that can cause harm. Hazards might be rocks, trees, water (drowning, floods), wildlife, humans, heights (falls, falling objects), machines, tools, weather (hypothermia).

        Risk: the potential of something happening. Risks could be death, serious injury and/or emotional harm.

        Adventurous activities offered by SNM could be dangerous if they’re not approached with care and responsibility. Participation in such activities is voluntary and not compulsory.

        Hazards and risks are managed using a hierarchy of controls to choose the most effective control measures starting with elimination, then minimisation, substitution and isolation. Further measures take on administration controls and personal protective equipment if risks and hazards remain.
