Safety II - The Evolution of Risk Management for Outdoor Programs

Madison, Wisconsin | November 1 9am-4pm | $150

Risk management has evolved and the traditional ("Safety I") approach can only take us so far. This workshop will provide current thinking and research on Safety II, as well as practical steps you can take to embrace and foster Safety II in your program. Participants will utilize a workbook to apply Safety II principles in their organization. Join us for this collaborative, interactive session to expand how your program thinks about risk management.
