 SAFETY GUIDELINES

To ensure this fieldtrip is safe and enjoyable, the following safety guidelines
should be followed:
• Wear a pair of sturdy, comfortable shoes (eg. walking boots, safety or
sports shoes);
• Umbrellas and hats are recommended for protection from sun and/or
rain;
• Outcrops are located along the busy trunk roads; thus, care should be
taken to avoid accidents;
• Avoid climbing steep quarry faces. Rocks tend to be easily dislodged
especially in the rainy season;
• If you intend to collect rock samples with a hammer, wear safety glasses
or goggles and warn your neighbours before hammering the rock;
• At the outcrops, beware of snakes, bees, scorpion etc.;
• Be environmentally friendly; take your litter home.
• If you have any other query, please ask the fieldtrip leaders.
• Note: Have enough drinking water supply- it might be hot and you will
loose a lot of fluid.
