Level 2 General Considerations for  Higher Care Activities


Prior to using this section to plan an activity, be able to confirm the following:

  • I have at least a basic familiarity with the content in Section 1 (Introduction) and Section 2 (Risk Management Primer) of Safety First! Level 1.
  • I have a solid understanding of the material in Section 3 (General Considerations for Off-site Activities) and any relevant subsections in Section 4 (Special Considerations).
  • I have a solid understanding of any relevant material in Section 5 (Local Off-site Activities).


Higher care activities in this document refers to adventure pursuits, some aquatics, and/or out-of-province or international travel. The activities involve greater inherent risks, and commitment to participation at higher levels, over longer durations and/or in more demanding and/or remote environments than covered in Level 1
