Showing Risk Management Workshop
06 Apr 2010 - Risk Management Workshop
One of the most powerful ways of training leaders to respond to critical incidents is via scenarios. Clare Dallat and Deb Ajango are both experts in Risk Management in the outdoors and have agreed to present a series of one-day workshops around Australia during the first two weeks of April 2010. Clare has been Director of Risk Management at the Outdoor Education Group (OEG) since 2002. Clare regularly presents at conferences in Australia and internationally on Risk Management in the outdoors. She facilitates critical incident scenario training for her colleagues at OEG on a regular basis. Deb Ajango is the American author of the excellent Lessons Learned books, which provide in-depth analysis of critical incident cases, and is the proprietor of SafetyEd, an organization that provides outdoor Risk Management training and resources in the U.S.
The proposed format for the workshop days will be a morning of risk management theory which will include:
• What is risk?
• Risk consciousness
• Communicating risk
• Compliance with regulatory requirements
The afternoon will consist of a facilitated critical incident scenario. Two workshops will be held in Victoria with a particular focus on risk associated with severe weather, including bushfire, one on Tuesday April 6th at 1 Spring St, Melbourne and one on Wednesday April 7th at Westerfolds Park, Templestowe. Places are limited. Please contact Tony Carden at the VOEA (ph. 9349 4311) for further details and to confirm your participation in this valuable training opportunity.
