This is Australia. We all live in a world with snakes. This is a great “awareness and safety” workshop for anyone who spends time outdoors, where you are more likely to encounter snakes and spiders. Choose whether your workshop will just focus on snakes, or if it will also include spider-safety.
Sharing our world with snakes and spiders can be a source of both fear and danger. Learn to be safe and fear-free.
The key to overcoming fear and avoiding danger is to understand these creatures.
The Walkabout Park seminar on snakes and spiders in the workplace or in your backyard is a great, non-confrontational way to prepare your people for encounters and reduce risk.
The workshop takes a cheerful approach to a serious, and sometimes scary, subject. It is fun and interactive, but most of all it will leave you with very important insights on how to be safe around snakes and spiders.
If any of your people have a phobia about snakes, talk to us. We have great success in working with people with animal phobias. Overcoming this fear is important as fear can prevent a person from acting safely. A “pre-” or “post-” training workshop extension is usually all that is necessary to assist people with phobias to respond appropriately to the situation.
Meet some non-venomous snakes and other reptiles.
See how snakes behave and respond.
Understand why snakes do what they do.
Experience how what people do affects a snake’s behaviour.
Recognise the differences between harmless and potentially dangerous snakes.
Anticipate where snakes are likely to be found and how to avoid them.
Know what to do (and what to not do) to be safe around snakes.
Know what to do in the very unlikely event that someone gets bitten.
