Risk Management

This is an oral test generally given indoors or outside in the base area of a ski resort.

Seek out your Ski Area's Risk Manager and become familiar with prevention programs  for  employees  and  guests  alike.  Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) laws and policies related to ski area management are very important to understand.

Seek out as many references as possible to better understand risk management issues and to  improve your skills.

For additional details on testing and criteria, download the APP Risk Management Testing Criteria PDF document, and refer to the additional references to the right.
