危險情況、安全指引及應對措施
23.濕滑山徑
23.1 濕滑路面，特別是斜滑山徑，容易導致滑倒受傷。
23.2 穿著有護踝及鞋底有凹凸紋的遠足鞋。攜帶行山手杖，在有需要時使用。
23.3 在滑倒受傷時，檢查有沒有扭傷、擦傷或其他傷勢。在有需要時，立即進行急救。有時骨折並不容易由表面察覺，若發現傷處紅腫或痛楚，不應繼續行走。若傷者可以繼續行走，應用手杖幫助或由同伴扶持，不可以強行獨自行走，以免加重傷勢。在扭傷或行動困難時，利用流動電話或派人求救，並將傷者移至陰涼、平坦地面上，等待救援人員到達。
24 山洪暴發
24.1 不低估山洪暴發的威力和速度。如在溪中，遇到大雨雨水集湧而下，數分鐘可演變為巨大山洪。極易為洪水沖走，引致傷亡。
24.2 不涉足溪澗，不在河道休息逗留，如遇落雨迅速離開河道，往兩岸高地走。不嘗試越過已被河水蓋過的橋樑。
24.3 發現流水湍急，混濁及夾雜沙泥時，是山洪暴發之先兆，應迅速遠離河道。如果不幸掉進湍急的河水，應抱緊或抓緊岸邊的石塊，樹幹或藤蔓，設法爬回岸邊或等候同伴救援。
25. 山泥傾瀉
25.1 暴雨時或經連日豪雨，天然或人工斜坡經滲進大量雨水後，極易引致山泥傾瀉。
25.2 如遇山泥傾瀉阻路切勿嘗試踏上浮泥前進，應立刻後退，另尋安全小徑繼續。
25.3 如團員被山泥掩沒，切勿嘗試自行拯救，應立刻通知救援人員帶備適當工具進行救援。
26.中暑
26.1 酷熱環境裡體溫上升，身體機能會自動調節來降溫，例如增加排汗和呼吸次數；可是，當環境溫度過高，生理調節不能有效控制體溫時，便會出現熱衰竭甚至中暑等情況。
26.2 熱衰竭的徵狀包括頭暈、頭痛、噁心、氣促及神志不清等。當體溫升至攝氏四十一度或以上時，患者更會出現全身痙攣或昏迷等現象，稱為中暑。若不及時替患者降溫及急救，便會有生命危險。
26.3 行進途中應多喝水或含適量礦物之飲料；選擇有林蔭的路徑，避免長時間受到太陽直接照射；每段行程不宜太長，若感不適，應立刻停止，保持適當休息。
26.4 如遇到中暑情況，讓中暑者躺在陰涼處，脫除衣物，雙足翹起。若患者清醒，可給予飲品。疏散人群，以免阻礙空氣流通。如有必要，可加用浸水、敷濕衣及風吹等能迅速降低體溫的方法，直至症狀消失為止。繼續補充水份及馬上求救，以便及早治理。
27.蜂螫
27.1 行山途中小心避免誤觸蜜蜂、大黃蜂或胡蜂的蜂巢，以免受蜂群攻擊。
27.2 若遇一、兩隻蜂在頭上盤旋，可以不加理會，如常前進。若遇蜂巢擋路，儘量繞路前進。若遇群蜂追襲，可坐下不動，用外衣蓋頭、頸，以作保護，捲曲臥在地上，待蜂群散開後，才慢慢撒離。如有螫針，可用鑷子拔除，但不要擠壓毒囊，以免剩餘的毒素進入皮膚。可以冷水濕透毛巾，輕敷在傷處，減輕腫痛。嚴重螫傷應儘快求醫。
28. 危險植物
28.1 山野間有些常見植物會對行山人士構成危險。例如： 兩面針會刺傷手腳，野果可能有毒，進食會引至傷害。
28.1 接觸植物引起皮膚敏感、或誤食野菇/野果中毒，應立即求醫診治。
29. 求救需知
29.1 遇有同行隊員嚴重受傷時，應立即施行緊急求救，直至有救援人員到達。
29.2 在需要和可能的情況下，安排同伴照料傷者，另外安排人員結伴前往求救。緊急求救電話：999 或 112。
Dangerous Situations, Safety Guidance and Countermeasures
23. Slippery Mountain Trail
23.1 Slippery Road, especially Slippery Mountain Trail, can easily cause slips and injuries.
23.2 Wearing hiking shoes with ankle pads and convex soles. Carry a hiking cane and use it when you need it.
23.3 In case of slip injury, check for sprains, abrasions or other injuries. Emergency treatment is given immediately when necessary. Sometimes, fractures are not easily visible on the surface. If redness, swelling or pain are found in the wound, do not continue walking. If the injured person can continue walking, use the cane to help or support them, as needed, by their companions. Do not walk alone to avoid aggravating the injury. When sprained or difficult to move, use a mobile phone or send someone for help. Move the injured to a cool, flat ground and wait for rescuers to arrive.
24. Flash floods
24.1 Watch the power and speed of flash floods. For example, in a stream, when heavy rain pours down, minutes can turn into massive floods. It is very easy to wash away, causing casualties.
24.2 Do not venture into streams; do not rest and stay in the river. If it rains, quickly leave the river and walk towards the high ground on both sides. Don't try to cross bridges that the river has covered.
24.3 The rapid flow of water, turbidity and mud are the precursors of flash floods and should be kept away from the river. If it unfortunately falls into the fast river, hold onto the shore stone, trunk or vine, and try to climb back to the shore or wait for the help of your companions.
25. Landslide
25.1 When a rainstorm or after days of heavy rain, natural or artificial slopes seep into a large amount of rainwater, it is very easy to cause landslides.
25.2 If you encounter mud slides blocking the road, do not attempt to step on the mud. Retreat immediately and find another safe path to continue.
25.3 If group members are covered in mud, do not attempt to save them. They should immediately inform the rescuers to bring along appropriate tools for rescue.
26 Heat Stroke
26.1 Summer In the scorching environment, the body's functions will automatically adjust to cool down, such as increasing the number of sweats and breaths. However, when the ambient temperature is too high and physiological regulation cannot effectively control the body temperature, heat exhaustion or even heatstroke can occur.
26.2 Symptoms of heat failure include dizziness, headache, nausea, shortness of breath and confusion. When the body temperature rises to 41 degrees Celsius or above, patients will also experience symptoms such as general spasms or coma, known as heatstroke. If the patient is not hypothermic and receives first aid in time, they will be in danger of losing their life.
26.3 Drink more water or mineral-containing beverages during your journey; choose a shade path to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight; do not take too long each journey. If you feel unwell, stop immediately and rest properly.
26.4 If encountering heatstroke, let the heatstroke victim lie in a cool place, take off their clothes, and raise their feet. If the patient is sober, a drink can be given. Evacuate the crowd to avoid obstructing air circulation. If necessary, use methods such as soaking in cool water, wearing wet clothes, or blowing wind to reduce body temperature until the symptoms subside quickly. Continue to replenish water and seek immediate help for early treatment.
27. Bee Sting
27.1 Be careful not to accidentally touch the bees, bumblebees or hornets' hives on your way to the mountains to avoid swarm attacks.
27.2 If you encounter one or two bees hovering overhead, you can ignore them and continue moving forward as usual. If you experience a beehive blocking the way, try taking a detour. If a swarm of bees chases you, sit down and stay still, covering your head and neck with your outer coat for protection. Curl up on the ground and wait until the swarm disperses, then slowly leave. If there is a sting, it can be removed with tweezers, but do not squeeze the venom sac to prevent the remaining toxin from entering the skin. You can soak a towel with cold water and gently apply it to the injured area to relieve swelling and pain. For severe stings, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
28. Dangerous Plants
28.1 Some common plants in the mountains can be dangerous to hikers. Two sides: Needles can stab hands and feet, wild fruits may be poisonous, and eating can cause harm.
28.1 Contact with plants causing skin sensitivity or miseating wild mushrooms/fruit poisoning should immediately request medical diagnosis and treatment.
29. Seek Help
29. 1 When a colleague is seriously injured, emergency rescue should be carried out immediately until rescue personnel arrive.
29.2 Arrange companions to take care of the injured when needed and possible, and arrange for personnel to go to the rescue in conjunction with them. Emergency call for help: 999 or 112
