Outdoor Risk Management ProgramThe Outdoor Risk Management Objective
To increase patroller value by providing patrollers with depth-and-breadth appropriate risk management educational content, information, resources, and skills that address the risks they may encounter in their daily patrolling activities. Program Structure This program is web-based, educational and is free to NSP members. It is recommended for patrollers with some experience with on-the-hill duties. There are no instructors, it is designed to be taken by individuals and is self-paced. It addresses topics such as legislation, industry standards and practices, risk Identification and mitigation along with operational basics of other departments such as ski & ride schools, lift operations and maintenance, terrain parks, snowmaking and grooming. Key Responsibilities The mission of the Outdoor Risk Management (ORM) program is to increase patroller value by providing patrollers with depth-and-breadth appropriate risk management educational content, information, resources and skills that help address the risks they may encounter in their daily patrolling activities. The ORM content has been specifically developed for patrollers who have little to no formal training in risk management, and is also helpful as a foundation for patrol leadership. Anyone who is interested in risk management and/or being asked to take on risk management as part of their patroller duties should participate in the new ORM course. In mastering these concepts, patrollers will develop and enhance pre and post-loss knowledge, tactics and skills to help increase their value to the ski areas, their patrols and ultimately the guests they serve. |
