WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This presentation is designed for all personnel that are interested in Managing Risk through their current position in the work force. The Risk Management process is a tool. It helps ensure that critical factors and risks associated with wildland fire operations, aviation, structure firefighting and all risk operations are considered during decision-making.

In situations of low complexity you may be able to do your risk management in your head. However, as the situation gets more complex (more hazards or higher probabilities), a more formal risk management process is required.
