These health protocols have been designed and will be followed until it is deemed necessary (based on the instructions of EODY, the Ministry of Health and the WHO) in order to:
- The employees of the company and the visitors / customers are protected from the possible transmission of the virus
- We are helping to reduce the spread of the virus worldwide
- The company continues to share with its audience its deep love for nature and to continue to share the benefits of engaging in outdoor recreational activities.
Part 1: Measures applicable to all activities
General risk assessment
Compared to other leisure activities, the activities offered have a relatively low level of risk related to the spread of the new corona:
- All activities take place outdoors in nature.
- The number of participants in the activities is small, either by internal division of a "group" into two or three parts.
- Booking a distance of 2 meters can guarantee most of the activities.
- If deemed necessary by the country's health authorities, we will be able to advise people with pre-existing diseases not to participate, as in order to make a reservation, someone completes a document stating any health problems and appropriate medication.
- We know our visitors / customers: As it became clear above, all the visitors of the companies complete a participation document. There, data such as their place of residence, telephone number, email, etc. are recorded. contacts of a confirmed case.
- Visitors often come to us "in groups" (eg schools, families). In this case, the distance protection measures can then be suspended in individual cases. For example, a family living together can sit without problems without keeping the safe distance of 2 meters.
Basic principles
Adequate and appropriate measures must be provided for each of the following requirements. The employer and the director of the company are responsible for the selection and implementation of these measures:
1. All people in the company should wash their hands regularly.
2. Employees and other persons must maintain a distance of 2 meters from each other.
3. Surfaces and objects must be disinfected regularly, especially if they are touched by many people.
4. Particularly vulnerable people need more care.
5. People with suspicious symptoms (fever and cough) should be removed immediately from the company and recommended self-isolation / seeking medical help.
6. Employees must be fully informed of the measures to be followed by the company.
7. Implement and monitor measures
1. Hand hygiene
All the people in the company should wash their hands regularly.

- Generally we pay attention to the distance of 2 meters between the visitors and him
- About the delivery of the equipment: Configuration so that we do not give the equipment in hand, but take it alone (always with the guidance of a companion). During the activity, if for the break the guests take out their equipment we make sure that they will not take someone else after the break, we make sure to have a place for its deposit (box - container - body) where the visitors will place them immediately.
- We disinfect the equipment in front of the visitors. If this is not possible, we encourage visitors to disinfect themselves by disinfecting (with our own instructions) - eg handles - using gel.
- If a distance of less than 2 meters is unavoidable (examples: control of belts - ropes): Check (usually only a few seconds), do not talk, turn the faces in a different direction (the attendant looks at the equipment and the visitor to the side). Where possible, it is recommended that the attendant wear a mask (eg at the base - in other buildings, etc.).
