Presentation transcript:

 Define high, medium & low risk activities;  Be aware of how the varying levels of risk affect the decisions we make at all of the various stages of our courses. ◦ E.g ratios, preparation, equipment, group management and other in-field decisions

 Level of risk based on potential or existing hazards that are:  Subjective (internal or personal): fatigue, fitness, health, psychological well-being,  Objective (external, environmental): terrain, weather, water conditions Level of risk based on severity of these these hazards and likelihood of them occurring

Does the course fit in our program?  Will we do the course this year?  How will the course be organized this semester? (location, dates, expected # of students, assistants) 

This month, what do we know about the prevailing conditions? (Snow pack, water levels)  This week, has anything changed?  Today, what is the status of the subjective or objective hazards?  In-field, what is happening?

Risk is quantified for insurance companies. What’s in it for us?  Help us make yearly, monthly, weekly, daily decisions

High Risk (Canoeing)  > 4 hrs from assistance  Class 2+ water  Winds > 20 knots  Water temp < 15 C Medium Risk (Mountain biking)  Single track  Rough trail surface  Roots and boulders on trail Low Risk (Hiking)  High fitness levels  Good group dynamics  Warm weather, no rain in forecast  Flat terrain
