1)What aspects of the recce did you find most useful in helping you to plan the RAMS and why?

2)If you have to do another recce in future, what would you do differently and why?

3)What are your key takeaways from your experience of using PEEP and OALAG to review RAMS and conduct a site recce?

4)What are some key considerations when planning for and managing emergency and evacuation situations?

Before your recce, review the RAMS document submitted by your vendor. Discuss the following:

a) are there other potential hazards and risk control measures that your team would like to add/ask the vendor during recce?

b) what do you need to find out during the recce to come up with an effective EAP?

c) how will you team of teachers work with the vendor's staff to implement the risk control measures and EAP (in case of an accident?

Reccee - no information on reccee - recee between vendor and school was not done

Weather - not mentioned, tidal information - fast flowing river implies there may have been rain earlier.

Hazard - fast flowing river

Height - no mentioned of structural checks on the makeshift rafts.

Water Activities - make shift rafting, river was fast flowing, no indication of direction. no mention of prevailing winds, speed and direction.

Accessibility - site is 3 hours away from town - indicates long distance from medical facilities. not accessible. building of the raft was at the rugby field - indicate some distance from river.

Medical declarations and screening - as the activity was done on the first day of the school year, seemingly dove straight in to activity. pre activity checks like ányone not feeling well' not done.

Pre-activity briefing - seemingly absent from the case notes.

Training (students) - no glimpse of physical ability of the students.

Qualifications - swimming proficiency level is poor

Safety supervisors - no one was in the river

Teachers roles and responsibilities - unclear, not with all the groups of students

Ratio - 7 staff : 202 learners

No first aider

1. No permits from local authorities (although provider has been operating for years)

2. No safety briefing done

3. No mass evacuation procedure and routes

4. No activity-specific rescue procedures

5. No evacuation plan and routes for incidents with casualties

6. No EAP

7. No appointment of Home Team (camp ICs?)

8. No water confidence test

9. Late communication with Police Service and emergency personnel (24hrs or more)

10. No location and condition of possible emergency landing sites

2) From school side, we will practice with the assistance of the PEEP framework and ask relevant questions.

2) Bring more colleagues when doing recce with vendor to have a broader view to close the gap.

1) Students with additional needs, work with SENO to prepare them for the activties

2) Students with health concern such as Asthma. Get doctor ok bill and also check in with parents comfort leve.

2) key consideration: i) are school/vendor following the most updated MOE Safety SOP (school safety handbook activities guide / oalag, etc) ii) are the facilities and equipment officially certified and updated regularly? iii) are we able to adapt activities and adapt to SEN participants?

2) Teachers must be briefed on what to expect and to do. As well as having the EAP in case of situations that arise.
