Statement of Risk
Red Kite Expeditions (RKE) places safety as a top priority. Adventurous Activities involve some risk for the
people taking part: we aim to keep these risks as low as possible. The chances of a serious injury are extremely
low, but minor injuries (bruises, bumps and - less likely – minor fractures) are a possible result of taking part
in Adventurous Activities. RKE’s staff will minimise 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 the environment
• Ensuring activities are within the capabilities of the participants
• Asking participants to supply information on any medical conditions
• Ensuring good hygiene standards are kept
We expect participants to co-operate with RKE staff, to ensure safety of all participants by following
instructions and answering questions honestly about any medical conditions or other information relating to
health and safety.
