PNOA Member Safety Code

I. Fundamental Principle — Never Fight an Unprepared Battle

• Enhance physical fitness and agility training so your body can adapt to demanding outdoor environments.
• Acquire essential outdoor safety skills, including First Aid, AST (Avalanche Skills Training), offline navigation, and map tracking.
• Equip yourself with the essential gear required for unpredictable wilderness settings, including two-way radios, headlamps, microspikes/crampons, etc.

II. Registration Principle — Know Yourself and Know Your Terrain

• Understand the difficulty level of the activity and verify that your physical stamina and experience match the trip requirements.
• Ensure your physical condition is fit for participation; do not force your limits or push through beyond your capabilities.
• Confirm your schedule commitments to prevent conflicts with other plans that could negatively affect the group dynamics.

III. Activity Principle — Follow Commands and Act in Unison

• Prepare all gear strictly according to the checklist instructions. If mandatory equipment is missing, the leader reserves the right to decline your participation—this policy is enforced strictly for your own protection.
• Arrive at the designated assembly point on time, showing mutual respect for your teammates' schedule.
• Follow the leader's arrangements diligently to maintain the safety of the entire expedition team.
• Maintain correct team formation and group pacing; do not wander off alone or take unauthorized shortcuts.
• Keep open channels of communication:
  • If you experience physical distress, feel that the trail difficulty exceeds your current capacity, or have any anxiety regarding safety, please alert the leader immediately. Doing so is not a burden; it is a vital responsibility to the safety of the team.
• Respect your teammates and offer mutual support, but avoid reckless behavior or playing the hero.
• Respect local wildlife and strictly follow the 7 Principles of Leave No Trace (LNT).
• Under exceptional circumstances, the leader holds full authority to adjust routes, alter itineraries, or terminate the activity entirely. All field decisions prioritize safety above all else.
