On a recent visit to Peru, we noted some situations that would have benefitted from a good risk management program and, happily, a number of instances where good risk management practices were used.
In Lima, or more accurately, its suburb Miraflores, we saw surprising few real hazards. The area was clean and relatively safe. Photos 1 through 3 include some hazards found while walking on one of its busy sidewalks.  The first shows wire surrounding plants within the sidewalk area – a real tripping ...

This article first appeared in Sadlersports.com and serves as an excellent concluding article for the John Sadler series on background testing.
  
Call it “sixth-sense”, “gut-feeling” or that “little voice” we all have it and make the conscious choice to listen or ignore it whenever it makes itself known.  Have you ever wondered if every person who was willing to say yes and step up to ...

Certainly the term “risk management” is not a common, household term in Old Delhi. This article and photos discuss and illustrate some of the risks faced in the daily lives of Indians living in and visiting Old Delhi. Old Delhi is the oldest and most colorful section of the vibrant city of Delhi. These photos are meant to depict some of the hazards faced by locals and visitors to the city.
I snapped Photo 1 one afternoon while riding in a bicycle rickshaw. We have seatbelt laws ...

When one thinks of Nepal, one’s first thoughts are of the Himalayas, but most people live in a long valley through the middle of the country. Risk management may not be an unknown term there – but it could certainly be put into practice more frequently.
On our recent visit, we found two major risks – the traffic on the streets and highways and the air pollution that blankets the valley, particularly in Kathmandu. We had no mishaps with the traffic, but did suffer from respiratory problems ...

This article first appeared in the January, 2007, issue of Fitness Management under the title &#8220;What Risk Management Means.&#8221;
It is time to take a broader look at the term &#8220;risk management.&#8221; It is a term everyone uses, but is misused, both in practice and in print. Here are some thoughts I would like to share with you.
Too often, owners and managers of fitness centers consider risk management to be an &#8220;advanced safety&#8221; procedure, but it is much more than just safety. Risk management is an organized plan ...

In January of this year, we posted an article that dealt with waivers and negligence per se.  This article, which originally appeared in Fitness Management magazine, also relates to negligence per se.
Reoven Capri suffered injury when he slipped and fell on the pool deck while walking to the pool.  He returned to the pool the next day and found an accumulation of algae around the drain on the pool deck where he fell.  He filed suit against L.A. Fitness International alleging that the club was both negligent ...
