5. 2. Put together an emergency
kit with supplies to support the
participants in any program at
any time.
- for example, all kits
should have 72-hours’
worth of food and
water per person, and
you might add sleeping
bags and small
cooking stoves for
programs that have
space to accommodate.

6. 3. Don’t forget to
include First Aid
kits with all your
emergency supplies.
These are important to
provide immediate medical

• assess the risks posed by those hazards;
• implement control measures to reduce or eliminate the
risks;
• ask workers to disclose any injuries or medical
conditions that might make them unfit to participate;
• have workers sign a waiver form prior to participating
saying that you will not be held liable for any injuries
they suffer as a result of the activity; and

13. • If the activity is taking place outdoors, encourage your workers
to be sun smart and to keep hydrated. You should also ensure
your workers have access to shelter in case of bad weather.
• Know your limits - Do not plan activities that you are not
capable of doing. Planning your activities around your family’s
activity level will keep injuries from occurring due to
exhaustion.
• Bring a First Aid kit - You should always carry a basic first aid
kit with you whenever you do any sort of outdoor recreation.
• Use protective gear - Ensure that you have the necessary
equipment to do your activity.
• Keep your equipment in good shape

18. FITTING TIPS
A helmet fits correctly when:
• It sits squarely on the head with the front
of the helmet low on the brow (within 2
finger widths of the eyebrows) to protect
the forehead.
• The padding gives firm, uniform pressure
all around the head so that the skin on the
forehead moves as the helmet is rotated
from left to right and from front to back.
• The front and rear straps form a "Y" just
below and forward of the ears; and,
• All straps are adjusted so there is no slack
in the system when the chin strap is
fastened.

19. B. TOBOGGANING
Everyone is encouraged to
have a great time throughout
the winter months.
• Always climb the hill along
the sides to avoid collisions
(please use the path created
for this purpose)
• Ensure that the hill is safe;
no bald spots, no rocks, no
ice

20. • Please wear a fitted helmet
while sledding; strongly
suggested for all those under the
age of 12
• DO NOT slide down headfirst
• Use a sled that can steer
• Where warm, layered clothing
to protect yourself from the cold
and potential injuries.
• Do not wear loose fitting
items that can get pulled, stuck
or grabbed. Example a scarf
that is not tucked in.

21. C. IN-LINE SKATING
SAFETY
When you head for the
pavement this summer...
Plan-it Safe, and
remember… Don't Use Your
Brains for Brakes!

22. SKATING TIPS
• Take lessons to learn how
to skate, stop and fall
safely.
• Always wear protective
gear every time you skate,
including a helmet, elbow
and kneepads, light gloves,
and wrist guards. Wear
long-sleeved shirts to
prevent scrapes and cuts.

23. • Begin skating with a five-minute,
slow skate to warm up; you will be
less likely to tear muscles.
• First-time skaters should practice
on a soft lawn or gym mat. Practice
moving forwards, and ease into
skating.
• Choose good-quality skates that fit
your feet properly. Using loose
skates will not provide adequate
ankle support and control.

24. • Before using any trail, achieve
a basic skating level, including
the ability to turn, control
speed, brake on a downhill, and
recognize and avoid skating
obstacles
• Be conscious of others:
skaters, pedestrians, joggers,
and bicyclists frequently use the
same areas. Use caution when
skating around others.
• Skate on the right side of
sidewalks, bike paths and trails.
Pass on the left as cars do, after
yelling "passing on the left".
Don't pass without warning.

It can help us keep a
healthy body, maintain
ideal weight and reduce
the risk of illnesses.
In doing physical
activities and recreation
activities, we need to
be familiarized with the
common facilities and
equipment used.

41. Facilities Used in Physical Activities and
Recreation Activities
1. BICYCLING – to
go bike riding we can’t
just hop on our bike
and go. Oh no! We
must have the spiffy
helmet, the gloves, the
padded shorts, the
special shoes, the cool
water bottle, the
futuristic sunglasses,
the thinner-than-air
dry-fit top and the list
goes on, and on.

42. 2. FISHING - If you have
fishing in your sights you
might have to break the
bank. Fishing –must haves
include thousand-dollar
reels and rods, ventilated
hats, UV protected fast-
drying clothing, deluxe
tackle boxes, lures in every
shape, size and color, bait,
jigs, rigs, fishing tools and
much more.

43. 3. CAMPING – is an
outdoor activity involving
overnight stays away from
home in a shelter, such as a
tent or a recreational
vehicle. The night (or
more) spent outdoors
distinguishes camping
from day-tripping,
picnicking, and other
similarly short-term
recreational activities.

44. 4. WATER SPORTS –
Water sports are one of the
most adventurous, action-
packed and fun-filled
activities. Also, they are
known to boost your health
while enhancing your
mental functioning. While
some people prefer the
cool, deep blue waters,
others prefer the raging and
roiling currents.

45. 5. HIKING, TRAIL WALKING – is a long, vigorous walk, usually on
trails or footpaths in the countryside. The word hiking is also often used in
the UK, along with rambling (a slightly old-fashioned term), hillwalking,
and fell walking (a term mostly used for hillwalking in northern England).

46. 6. OFF-ROADING – is the activity of driving or riding a
vehicle on unsurfaced roads or tracks, made of materials such
as sand, gravel, riverbeds, mud, snow, rocks, and other natural
terrain. Types of off-roading range in intensity, from leisure
drives with unmodified vehicles to competitions with
customized vehicles and professional drivers

47. 7. MOTORCYCLING
– is riding a motorcycle.
For some people,
motorcycling may be the
only affordable form of
individual motorized
transportation, and small
displacement
motorcycles are the
most common motor
vehicle in the most
populous countries,
including India, China
and Indonesia.

49. 9. HUNTING - is the practice of
seeking, pursuing and capturing
or killing wildlife or feral
animals. Hunting is most done
by humans to harvest useful
animal products (meat, fur/hide,
bone/tusks, horn/antler, etc), for
recreation/taxidermy (trophy
hunting), to remove predators
dangerous to humans or
domestic animals, to eliminate
pests and nuisance animal that
damage crops/livestock/poultry
or spread diseases, for
trade/tourism (safari), or for
ecological conservation against
overpopulation and invasive
species.
