Risk Management Guides

Risk Management Guides

Services
Our Risk Management Guides include specific standards and performance requirements as well as technical information and proven techniques for managing inherent risk. The information is presented in a concise manner and standard sequence that can be incorporated directly into management policy and procedures.

For each activity, our Guides cover management of information, guests, equipment and facilities. Although focus is on the prevention of mishaps, each Guide has extensive information on the proper handling of emergencies, accidents and incidents. In addition, there are sample forms and working documents that may be helpful to the outdoor recreation operator.

Sample from our Shooting Sports Risk Management Guide:

“Agreement or Contract
We recommend that a formal, written agreement be executed in advance between hunt operators and their client hunters. The agreement should clearly state the services and articles that will be provided, their cost and the obligations of both parties. Besides providing a legal basis, such a document enhances business goodwill by eliminating misunderstanding or the disappointment of false expectations. The only surprises that are welcome on a hunt are better hunting weather and more game. Please see Sample Form C.”
