Which must be included in the safety procedures under DA6?

The inclusion of procedures for entering and exiting the vehicle, addressing participant needs, and ensuring instructor presence is vital in safety procedures under DA6 because these elements are directly linked to the safety and well-being of participants in equine activities. This set of procedures ensures that everyone involved in the program—participants, instructors, and support staff—understands their roles and responsibilities related to vehicle safety. It emphasizes the importance of proper methods for participants to safely embark and disembark from vehicles and receive necessary assistance, which is critical in minimizing accidents and injuries.

By clearly outlining these procedures, the program fosters an environment of safety that prioritizes the specific needs and actions of participants. This is especially important in equine-related activities where participants may have varying levels of ability or may have specific needs that must be addressed to ensure their safety and comfort during transportation.

In comparison, while emergency contact information, general riding rules, and driving guidelines are also important components of a broader safety protocol, they do not specifically address the procedural focus necessary for minimizing risk during entry and exit of vehicles, which is a central concern of DA6.
