Program support goes beyond training and certification: it implies a more encompassing, inquiring look at a program, specific activities or particular incidents. An Exponent specialist assists in observing and gathering data on the program or selected activities and advises on accident prevention and safety management at large. Compliance with growing national and European legislation with regard to adventure activities in general, and ropes course programs in specific, is part of our consultancy.
Our program support includes two core activities, which are often combined:
Ropes course safety management advice
Exponent Challenge Services offers consulting on the following topics:
- Program objectives and ropes course design
- Staff management
- Developing and evaluating safety policies
- Accident response procedures and practice
- Legal requirements re ropes course operations and European standards
- Working with a safety committee
Contact us for more information and a proposal tailored to your organization.
Risk analysis
Providers of adventure activities have a legal obligation to conduct a risk analysis for their programs. The European standard Sports and recreational facilities - Ropes courses (15567) requires a risk analysis for ropes courses, specifically. At your request, Exponent assists in making such an analysis.
Together with one or more people with safety responsibility in your program, we analyze incidents (near-misses) and accidents in order to improve the program safety systems and management.
