Safety First

Safety Manual

Welcome to our eco-tour! Your safety is just as important to us as the cleanliness of our planet. Before we begin, please read these safety instructions carefully.

1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – The Foundation of Success

We don't go into the field without proper equipment. Before starting the cleanup, check that you have:

Sturdy Gloves

Never pick up waste with bare hands. They protect you from cuts, needles, and bacteria.

Sturdy Footwear

Forget flip-flops or sandals. You need closed-toe shoes with thick soles because of glass and sharp objects.

High-Visibility Gear

If cleaning near roads, a reflective vest is mandatory.

2. What (NOT) to Touch – Hazardous Waste

Not all waste belongs in a regular bag. Never touch or pick up:

Needles and Syringes

If you see them, immediately report it to the coordinator. Special plastic boxes and tongs are used to collect them.

Sealed/Unknown Chemicals

Canisters, old batteries, motor oils, or unknown liquids. They may be toxic or corrosive.

Dead Animals

Do not touch them due to the risk of infection transmission.

Overly Heavy Objects

Protect your back. If something is too heavy (e.g. a tire full of mud), lift it in pairs or call the coordinator.

3. Field & Water Safety

Eco-tours often take us into the wild:

Watch the Terrain

Watch out for slippery rocks, mud, steep slopes, or hidden holes under leaves.

Water Collection

If cleaning riverbanks or shores, don't go too close to deep or fast water. If you can't swim, let us know in advance.

Rešpektujte prírodu

Pozor na osie hniezda, hady alebo kliešte. Používajte repelent.

4. Hydratácia a ochrana pred slnkom

Práca vonku vie človeka rýchlo vyčerpať:

Pitný režim

Pite pravidelne čistú vodu, aj keď necítite smäd. Dehydratácia prichádza plazivo.

Ochrana pred slnkom

Používajte opaľovací krém (SPF 30+), noste pokrývku hlavy a slnečné okuliare.

Prestávky

Ak sa cítite unavení, točí sa vám hlava alebo je vám nevoľno, okamžite si sadnite do tieňa a povedzte to niekomu.

5. Prvá pomoc a núdzové situácie

Každý koordinátor je vybavený vlastnou lekárničkou prvej pomoci, aby mohol okamžite zasiahnuť pri akomkoľvek zranení. V prípade núdze sa neváhaj obrátiť na ktoréhokoľvek z nich.

Ošetrite každé zranenie

Akékoľvek malé porezanie alebo škrabanec ihneď vydezinfikujte a prelepte.

Majte po ruke čísla

Majte v telefóne uložené číslo na koordinátora a lokálne núdzové linky.

💡 Pravidlo palca:

Ak máte pochybnosti, či je bezpečné nejaký odpad zdvihnúť, nezdvíhajte ho a poraďte sa s vedúcim skupiny.
