Conditions will be varied during these days and therefore weather
information will be included in information packages and participants are
required to also gather this information as part of their leadership
preparation. Generally these areas experience mild conditions and some
rain is likely during this time of year. Instructors must make sound
judgements relating to weather and hail or lightning must force a
cancellation of activity
Apply leave no trace principles in all locations
National parks guidelines for conservation parks
Apply considerations for Phytophthora – cleaning principles on shoes and
equipment that contacts soil.
Use identified paths only
Not to proceed on catastrophic fire danger – check parks advice on extreme
fire danger.
No permits as this is part of an educational experience rather than as a tour
operator.
Abide by ratio recommendations (SAREA) of 1:6 for TRG or TRI to a
maximum of 18 participants
Assistants operate on ratios of 1:4, and not to exceed 3 leaders/assistants
in any one group
Leaders of each group to enact duty of care and align with roles outlined in
leader prep package.
Leaders are to make sound and informed judgement within their
qualification of the operation within cliff environments.
Students and Leaders to complete FlinSafe agreement and abide by this.
Minimum of 1 TRG per 18 participants (but to still adhere to SAREA
identified ratios).

drug use
2. Exposure to elements
including development of
hypothermia or
hyperthermia
5. infection, gastro, etc…

Emergency Management Planning Details

Planning
 emergency response actions, allocated roles and responsibilities
o roles outlined in information pack and respones outlined below in incident and emergency plans
 closest available professional medical care (e.g. hospital, clinic, doctor)
o outlined in information pack
 contingency plans for foreseeable emergencies (e.g. injuries, fire, flood)
o At both cliffs exit is possible via access tracks in (climbers track)
o Air lift from base can be arranged via phone call from top of cliff.
o Walk out possible from base of far crag via third falls track but not suitable for injury
o Multiple exit points at Morialta to the east and west in case of fire.
o dealing with injuries outlined below in incident and emergency response plans
 strategies relevant to the features of the area being visited
o outlined in risk identification

Preparation
