SAFETY AND RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN
- Share to:
OAL ISP facilitators must conduct a risk assessment and hazard analysis for all portions of the OAL ISP using appropriate forms and lines of communication. • This risk assessment identifies hazards and associated inherent risks and measures for managing staff and participant exposure to these risks. • Risk assessment occurs 1) prior to the program using various resources such as guidebooks, personal knowledge or input from the staff, and 2) during the activity when faced with real or potential hazards and obstacles (e.g., inspecting and cleaning a rock buttress or loose rocks prior to conducting a top rope or rappel activity or scouting a whitewater rapid from shore before running it). • Prior to an outing’s start, OAL ISP facilitators must inform participants of the nature and goals of the program, its requirements regarding physical conditioning and behavior, and the possible consequences of not meeting these requirements. • Participants must recognize and acknowledge the inherent risks associated with participation. • Each participant must recognize that they are always responsible for their own well-being and the well being of the group they belong to. • All participants are required to complete a Medical History Form with a physician prior to participation. • All persons participating in the OAL ISP must sign the Policies and Information form, recognizing the required conduct of participants.
