Risks

Arrival/Departure

General danger from road traffic. The journey takes place in a coach that drives on public roads and stops at rest areas.

Solar radiation

There is no danger in Central European weather conditions. In normal weather conditions, people with skin types I to III may experience reddening of the skin or even sunburn. In bad weather conditions, the risk is assessed at the excursion location and paused/cancelled if necessary.

Heat

Due to unfavorable weather conditions, large cities can become very hot, which can lead to great physical strain, even at night.

Mosquitoes

There is a stable population of the Asian tiger mosquito at the excursion sites. It is an important vector of pathogens such as the Zika virus, the chikungunya virus and the dengue virus. Depending on the excursion location, there may be a large number of mosquitoes. There is therefore a risk of mosquito bites.

Leisure activities

Individual leisure activities during the excursion days can lead to injuries, physical impairments or even death.

Measures to prevent accidents

Before the excursion

Information website
An information website will be made freely available to all participating students. The program and the events are presented there.
Health status

Solar radiation
Students must ensure that they have sufficient sun protection themselves. Sun milk (factor 30 and higher), lip balm (with sun protection), head protection (umbrella) and possibly long suitable clothing.

Mosquito protection
Students can use commercially available products such as mosquito nets or mosquito lotions to ensure adequate mosquito protection and must provide this for themselves.
