The RC received it at 23:02, I have no other visibility of past that level, but you would assume the OF5s have a WhatsApp group or something.
That is so true. I’ve seen it plenty (ok no fatalities but certainly avoidable harm)

Nothin in C&E yet and it clearly hasn’t made it to Regional Staff as the RATTO has just sent a whole Refion email advising people refresh themselves with climatic injury training and that we take the weather into account of we have anything planned.
Can anyone with eyes on confirm what the stipulations are? Whole weekend, just anything amber, what?
Recommendation: Comdt RAFAC has directed that:
- All outdoor physical activity is paused during the Amber weather warning for extreme heat 17-19 Jul 22. Activities may be resumed once triaged and a dynamic risk assessment, signed off by Regional Comdts or their delegated representative.
- Any resumed Activity levels must be conducted IAW JSP 375 Vol 1 Ch 41 Annex C
- All National level activity will be subject to OF5 decision briefs and associated dynamic risk assessments.

We don’t have access to WBGT readings to identify work/rest schedules. Nor do those tables apply to under 18s.

…which means no activity for you.

Where was this issued to? Nothing in emails here - is it a recommendation or direction? Both seem to be contradictory? What does this mean for overseas units like Gibraltar and the Channel Islands / IOM?

All questions most of us would like to know the answer too. If it’s a safety issue like this I really can’t understand why were still using the CoC 
People in your chain being slow ends up meaning you’ve got less time to manage the problem…

Just one question. How dose your RC sign off a dynamic risk assessment?

Maybe you have to set up a teams call with the RC during the activity so as you dynamically risk assess it, they can say yes or no

How do you conduct a dynamic risk assessment in advance?
I think someone has substituted the word “dynamic” in place of “reviewed and amended”.

Nothing yet for us and we have cadets going on camp on Saturday. Not sure who we’d get to sign off our dynamic risk assessments either as despite the announcements last year we’re still not under the RCs.
Its gotta be canned.
Surely…
If not. Hope they got a queue of ambulances at the ready.
Also… just a thought.
But at those temps… i wonder if Fairford runway is at risk…

If RIAT goes ahead in 37 then the precedent is set for any other warm weather Sqn / Wing / Region level activities to go ahead.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they cancel the Sunday as that’s the warning start.
I did a church parade on a Gib camp in 42°! The polish dripped off my parade shoes.
Didn’t do me any harm

I hope not, I booked tickets for Sunday/Monday back in 2019 for the 2020 show… carried to 2021 and now 2022
