Viristar delivered a Foundations of Adventure Safety course May 1-2, in Guangzhou for a group of outdoor, education and adventure professionals from across China.
Participants came from organizations including Utahloy International School Guangzhou, China New Horizons, Guangzhou Leadclimb Outdoor Center, Beijing Concord College of Sino Canada, 宏信書院 ELCHK Lutheran Academy, and Hong Kong International School.
The course was held on the campus of Utahloy International School Guangzhou, which co-hosted the event, along with outdoor education provider China New Horizons.
Course participant Adrian Heria, Director of China New Horizons, said, “This course has provided our management team with valuable knowledge and resources that our organization can use to further develop and improve our internal systems, to ensure we are embodying and creating a culture that puts safety above all else.”
The Foundations of Adventure Safety training helps managers of outdoor, travel, and experiential learning programs develop the knowledge and skills necessary to establish a high-quality and effective safety management system for their organization.
The class covers general principles of risk management, adventure safety standards and laws, safety culture, Safety by Design concepts, emergency planning, and more. Viristar first provided its two-day in-person course in China in 2018, and has delivered the training in a number of countries since then.
The two-day, classroom-based Foundations of Adventure Safety course offered by Viristar is a complement to Viristar’s 40-hour online training, Risk Management for Outdoor Programs, which offers a similar curriculum but in an expanded, online format.
Course participant Eva Yee Man Yip, Head of Student Development at ELCHK Lutheran Academy in Hong Kong, said, “Very experienced presenter with lots of case studies and real experience, genuine sharing about risk management. Helpful and useful to bring all these back to our school. A very fruitful, helpful and meaningful course.”
