Risk Management: Lessons Learned from Near-Misses on the Trail and in Trail Work

Whew, what a close call! What can we learn from near-misses on trail, and in trail work?

Anyone who works or recreates outside will invariably have “close call / near miss” experiences — but do we do enough to identify lessons learned from these non-events? Join outdoor risk management consultant Steve Smith from Experiential Consulting, LLC for an interactive session that may challenge assumptions and evolve the ways in which you think about risk management, and the importance of learning from things that didn’t happen.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will understand incident causation models
• Participants will understand the unique benefits of near-misses
• Participants will explore organizational behaviors that help us harvest lessons learned from these non-events
