    and/or  classes  of SWT members.
     The moderator will prepare route for the school watching, designate
    stops and provide a School Watching Checklist (D.O. 2015) to Team
    members for guidance in the observation of hazards.

     Designate a   start   and   end   point   for   the   school watching activity.

    mapping before convening the SWT.

    workshop,  play  area, garden and any open area.
     Use the School Watching Checklist as a basic guide in identifying
    hazards factors and/or at risk areas in the   The  team  members  are 
    encouraged  to add  other  risk  factors  based  on  their  observation,
    experience  and  appreciation  of  the  condition  of  the school
    environment/facilities.

     After walking around the school premises, the moderator will facilitate
    the processing of the information noted by SWT

    any  drawing  materials  will  be distributed to the SWT to map and plot
