Episode #38: Risk Management in Parks and Recreation

The Productive Parks 5-Minute Podcast

Parks and recreation agencies have the responsibility to protect the safety of those using their parks and facilities. This responsibility includes identifying, addressing, and minimizing risk in areas and programming.

Risk occurs when a hazard may cause personal injury, property or environmental damage, economic loss, or death. Hazards are conditions unknown or misunderstood by visitors that may result in injury.

Of course, many recreational activities have inherent risks.

So how do we strike a balance between protecting staff and visitors at our sites and providing quality experiences that meet their personal preferences?

By creating a risk management plan.

In this episode of the Productive Parks 5-Minute Podcast, learn why these plans are important, the phases of risk managment, and the maintenance department’s role in keeping guests and employees safer.
