For providers offering activities in a natural environment where there is a need for technical risk management – where students are:
- Entering water or the intertidal zone e.g. shore ecology, beach profiling to collect measurements/samples
- Working in remote areas or areas with difficult access without vehicle access
- Working as small groups away from direct supervision
- Using tools as part of practical conservation, bushcraft or Forest School activities.
And for providers within a working form or similar venue where livestock, soil or horticultural inputs, products or equipment may be handled in a day visit or residential setting.
