About OSI

"MYE had a thorough risk management plan in place before we began working with OSI. They made it better in ways we could not see from within the organization."

OSI's risk management experts provide support on safety and liability issues to outdoor education, outdoor recreation, conservation, and related organizations. Watch our one minute video above for a summary of what OSI can do for your program or read below for more details.

• Safety: help prevent harm to participants for staff

• Reputation: prevent crippling damage to your program's reputation

• Legal: be certain you are taking appropriate steps now in case an incident does occur

• Marketing: advertise the fact that your safety practices are top-notch

• Management: support managers & reassure senior leadership that safety is being addressed

• Cost: prevention cost much less than even a single incident

A risk management review is a systematic approach to assessing the safety and liability related practices within a program. Often, organizations are unaware of the current best practices or of risk management gaps within their organization. OSI’s collaborative review process results in a comprehensive report guiding your organization’s next steps. More»

"Alex provided an invaluable external perspective to our organization and forced us to think about what we were doing, why we were doing it and how we could improve. His manageable report helped us see that we needed to put more resources into our training materials, emergency response protocols and maintaining consistency across different programs."
