What is considered to be safe and appropriate in one set of circumstances might not be under another set.
Safety is of utmost consideration when working with youth.
Adults should know the location of the nearest first-aid kit and how to administer basic first aid. Event site coordinators need to insure that a map to the nearest emergency room is available to adult leaders. A telephone or other communication device needs to be readily available for both coming and out-going communication. All youth will be required to submit advance emergency medical release forms before participation in the youth activity. Drinking water should be readily available during all youth activities, especially outdoor activities and trips.
