Risk Awareness & Expedition Risk Management (full day session)

The morning half of this workshop will be led by Peter Chapman and will provide insight into what risk is, what a risk assessment is, how to quantify risk and how to manage and minimize any risk that could be present in the activities that you lead as an International Mountain Leader. We will look at a few examples relevant to the role of the IML for us to get to grips with doing a risk assessment. It will be seen how risk assessments can influence our decision making and planning.

The afternoon will be led by Kev Sidford who will facilitate group exercises looking particularly at preparing for foreign expeditions and managing risk while on expedition.

There will be individual and group tasks during the workshop, the results of which will be discussed in plenum.

Participants are also encouraged to bring an example from their own leading experience from which they think that more knowledge of risk or managing risk would, in hindsight, have helped.

The workshop will be classroom based.

Equipment needed

Please bring a pen and paper.
