Planning, Site Visit and Consent (10.2–10.7) covers scoping the health service, making a process chart, visiting a local clinic or health centre, preparing a Bill of Materials, and taking informed consent.

Organising a Health Camp (10.9–10.11) provides an event checklist, physical space layout, respectful engagement with participants, feedback collection and cleanup.
Vital signs and safety: students measure temperature, pulse, breathing and oxygen saturation with a thermometer, pulse oximeter and stopwatch. They wash hands or use a 70 per cent alcohol sanitiser, change gloves for each person and keep biomedical waste in a separate covered bin.
Occupational hazards and first aid: workers face strains such as hearing damage for factory workers and traffic police, and heat stress in food processing, prevented with earplugs, water and shade. First aid is only a first response: always call an adult, give no medicines, and leave CPR to trained adults.
