SINGAPORE — Schools in Singapore on Tuesday (Feb 1) resumed height-based activities but at a lower capacity, following a near two-year suspension prompted by a fatal incident during a camp programme.

At the Jalan Bahtera Outdoor Adventure Learning Centre, activities like the zipline, abseil station, climbing wall and tower circuit operated at 50 per cent or less of normal capacity, with more time allocated for students to participate in each activity.

“I think the instructors’ guidance was very reassuring to us because they made us trust them and they were there for us,” Bao-Anh said. Instructors are responsible for setting up and conducting the height-based activities, and safety supervisors are in charge of the overall safety conduct of activities, as well as managing rescue and evacuation situations.

For example, only instructors who have a Level 2 certification with ACCT or Outward Bound Singapore can be safety supervisors. “During the hiatus, we spent a lot of time with instructors. We had regular refresher sessions, and just before we resumed, we conducted a few sessions of skills verifications … They all spent one full day just going through all the dispatches, safety briefings, management, rescue practices,” he added.
