Event Description

In this training, you’ll evaluate your organization’s risk management practices and build a comprehensive risk management action plan. NOLS doesn’t just teach operational risk management - we practice it every day. This means you learn a current and responsive risk management framework informed by our experience managing wilderness programs for 60 years. You will:

  • Learn a structured approach to designing or refining a risk management plan.

  • Analyze your approach to risk oversight, curriculum, staff hiring and training, field support services, and emergency planning.

  • Participate in exercises to help you evaluate your approach to staffing, contracting, and serious incident response.

  • The training culminates in an in-depth emergency scenario. You will leave the training having written a personalized action plan.

You'll also receive the following tools:

  • Risk Management Action Plan Workbook

  • NOLS Crisis Management Template and NOLS Wilderness Medicine Protocol Package

  • Resources examples include a risk release, health form, orientation checklist, transportation policy, and more.
