Aspects of the newsletter may also be of interest to the general outdoor enthusiast.

 

 

As a thank you for signing up for the newsletter, new subscribers will receive a copy of OSI's report "5 Weeks to Better Risk Management."

The report identifies five common ways outdoor programs can improve their safety and liablity related practices. Intended as a way to jumpstart a renewed risk management effort, the report's suggestions can be addressed in a five week effort. The suggestions are based on the experience of OSI's reviewers with dozens of outdoor programs.
