environmental damage. DISCUSSION OF THE TOPIC
☻For Lesson 2: Environmental Hazards
 Outdoor recreational activities have so much to offer to people. These
includes fun and pleasure, general wellness of an individual, and sometimes
environmental hazard.
According to the School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Manual Booklet 1 of DepEd, “hazard is a dangerous phenomenon, condition,
substance, or human activity that may cause loss of life, injury or other health
impacts, property damage, social and economic disruption, loss of livelihoods
and services, or environmental damage”.
Mishaps are avoidable. The most effective way to prevent them is to
adequately prepare for the trip that includes knowing the environmental
hazard you may encounter during the outdoor recreational activity.
Robert Ernst (2003) emphasizes that, “most of us know that when we are
outdoors, exposure to the mix of heat, humidity, and sun can lead to serious
heatrelated illnesses. But a number of other problems can occur from
sunburns to insect bites and stings.” With these, he enumerates guidelines
when assessing environmental hazard, you need to look at the following
factors:
1. Location and terrain - The terrain is defined as the specific physical features
of an area of land. The location and the terrain contribute to the hazardous
conditions when staying and walking into the site. Below are some
environmental hazards that depend upon your location and terrain:
• Uneven surfaces, wet grass, and mud
• Holes in the ground can cause trips or falls.
• Rocky trails
• Exposed ledges
• Darkness
• Leeches
• Poison ivy
• Bee stings
• Snake bites
2. Season/Climate Keep an eye on the current and predicted weather
conditions. Know the signs for approaching storms or changing weather
conditions. Some areas are susceptible to certain types of severe weather.
Weather hazards include:
• Lightning and thunderstorms,
• Flooding and flash flooding,
• Strong winds and tornadoes,
• Freezing rain and hail, and
• Being Overexpose to sun.
3. Equipment and Transportation Keep your equipment in good condition.
Inspect them before your trip. Do not wait until you are at the trail-head.
Beyond the activity, the equipment and driving/ transportation are also
considered environmental hazards.
Equipment:
• Broken stove
• Boots not broken in
• Improper clothing
• Inoperative equipment Driving/Transportation:
• Bad road conditions
• Darkness
• Unfamiliar road
• Difficult road (Class I-VI)
• Other erratic drivers
• Pedestrians/cyclists
Ten essential equipment for Mountaineering - According to
mountaineers.org, “it is a great idea to work on a checklist that is tailored to
the nature of the outing when planning for your next mountaineering trip”.
Here are ten essential pieces of equipment that mountaineers should prepare
and bring when climbing a mountain:
1. Navigation – Today’s mountaineer carries five essential tools while
navigating to their destination: map, altimeter, compass, GPS device, and
personal locator beacon (“PLB”) or other devices to contact emergency first
responders.
2. Headlamp – In the outdoors, headlamps are the flashlight of choice, freeing
hands for anything from cooking to climbing. If the party plans to return
before dark, each member should carry a headlamp.
3. Sun-protection – This includes carrying and wearing sunglasses,
sunprotective clothes, and broad-spectrum sunscreen rated at least SPF 30. 4.
First Aid – Carrying and knowing how to use a first-aid kit should not give you
a false sense of security. Avoid injuries or sickness is the best course of action
to take in the first place.
5. Knife – These are useful for first-aid, food preparation, repairs, and
climbing, therefore, everyone in the group should carry one.
6. Fire – Most climbers carry a disposable butane lighter or two instead of 10. Personal locator - The beacon is an electronic transmitter that sends out a

as a plastic tube tent or a jumbo plastic trash bag.
8. Extra Food – The food should require no cooking, be easily digestible, and
store well for long periods. ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES (WHAT’S MORE)
9. Extra water – Always carry at least one water bottle or hydration bag. ☻For Lesson 2: ACTIVITY 1: AVOID MISHAPS!

the timely use of life-saving equipment by the sports enthusiasts as well as
the accompanying experts”. The following are the commonly used life-saving
equipment in water sports and should always be checked for availability.
1. Lifejackets - These can be of help to the person wearing it from drowning.
Thus, it is important to always wear a life jacket throughout the water activity.
2. Safety helmets – They are used mostly for water sports involving a higher
risk factor, like water skiing and kayaking activities, but it is important to use
them whenever required.
3. Safety harnesses – They should be tied tightly enough to allow free
movement in the boat or on deck, but not so loose that the person may fall
overboard, leading to a lot of injuries.
4. Lifebuoys – These are ring-like flotation devices that prevent people from
drowning.
5. First aid kits - It is the first requirement for medical assistance in case of an
emergency and hence is a must-have safety measure on every boat.
6. Maps - It is important to navigate rightly and follow the basic safety rules
while taking any vessel out in the water, be it for rafting or boating.
