Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to those who work in a range of roles and settings across the outdoor recreation sector, such as those who are responsible for planning and organising outdoor recreation programs and activities which can include complex and non-routine situations. Work would be undertaken autonomously with some responsibility for leadership and guidance of others. Work would be performed in field locations with varied contexts requiring contingency planning.
Those working in such roles would include adventure guides, outdoor leaders, program developers, trip leaders and logistics coordinators.
This may include outdoor recreation leaders working for outdoor education or adventure providers; volunteer groups; not-for-profit organisations or government agencies.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to undertake an organisational risk management process within the context of outdoor adventure activities, in order to make judgements about the safe level of risk in relation to challenge and the competence of participants. It includes applying and evaluating organisational risk management strategies to lessen the potential impact of unacceptable risks.
