Health and Safety

General Health and Safety Statement

You are attending OTR at your own risk, and you are responsible for exercising reasonable precautions to avoid spreading infectious disease or becoming ill.

The COVID-19 emergency has expired. However, out of an abundance of caution and to promote the health and safety of all attendees, guests, staff, vendors, and the wider Randolph County community, we encourage all attendees to take the following precautions:

  • If you feel sick before OTR and test positive for COVID-19, Influenza, RSV, or any other infectious illnesses, please stay home. We’ll see you next year.
  • If you feel sick at the event, please quarantine in your camp. Do NOT come to First Aid, as we are not equipped to care for infectious illnesses. If you continue to feel ill, please consider leaving early and going home.
Caver Alert Information Sheet (CAIS)

We strongly recommend that before you leave on a Caving Trip you designate an Emergency Contact and leave a completed Caver Alert Information Sheet (CAIS) with them. You can find copies of the CAIS on the Activities Board and Information Boards, and at FIrst Aid, Registration, and Gate. A fillable pdf CAIS may be found at https://ncrc-er.caves.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/CAIS_Fillable_2023-03-15.pdf. Questions on the CAIS should be directed to caverbru@gmail.com, or you can ask anyone on Security to put you in contact with the ER-NCRC Sub-Region Coordinator for Randolph County, who is usually at the OTR Site during OTR.
