Weather

           If you are volunteering at an outdoor event, hopefully the weather will be
           good but good and bad weather can cause issues:

                         •   If it is sunny and hot be sure to wear a hat and sun screen
                        •   Be sure to stay well hydrated – water will be available
                         •   Keep an eye out for any members of the public who are
                         •   looking hot and direct them to a water point if needed
                            If the weather is wet be aware of the risks of slips and falls
                        •   Report any concerns to your team leader

           Security


           Your role as an Event Volunteer is to be alert and report concerns
           to your Team Leader:

             Things to look out for:
               •   Fire hazards

               •   Suspicious packages
               •   Suspicious or unusual behaviour


                Personal safety:
                    •   There will be areas to store your personal items - Do not
                        bring anything of high value with you
                    •   Remember to bring your mobile phone to aid

                        communication and make sure it is fully charged
                    •   Your role is to follow fire instructions and emergency
                        procedures and not put yourself or anyone else at risk
