Introduction
We have written a Leader's Guide for each of the situations where a leader takes responsibility for the safety of volunteers.
The guides help task leaders by giving them the following information:
- A suggested list of tools and equipment
- A guide to the safe use of the tools that may be used
- A guide to the hazards presented by the task or situation.
The Leader's Guides form the basis for the risk assessment and safety talk at the start of each task.
