Mountain Rat Adventures places safety as a top priority. Adventurous activities involve some risks for the people taking part. We aim to keep these risks as low as possible. The chances of serious injury are extremely low but the chance of minor injuries (bruises, bumps and – less likely – minor fractures) are a possible result of taking part in adventurous activities. We will minimise the actual dangers by: • Carrying out a careful assessment of all risks before commencing the activity • Only using experienced instructors with the appropriate qualifications for the activity • Giving clear safety instructions to everyone participating • Ensuring equipment and clothing is well maintained and suitable for the activity and environment • Ensuring activities are within the capabilities of the participants • Asking participants to supply medical conditions or information • Ensuring good hygiene standards are kept We expect participants to co-operate with Mountain Rat Adventures and their team, to ensure the safety of all participants, by following instructions and answering questions honestly about any medical conditions or other information relating to health and safety.
