thinkingOnline Risk Assessment

Do you have the skills and knowledge to conduct an internal Risk Management audit of your department? How well do you stack up compared to other schools — and how will you know?

Why not leave it to the experts?

SportRisk’s exclusive ‘Online Risk Assessment’ provides key benchmark data for your department (relative to over 100 North American universities), and uncovers critical gaps in your risk management plan.

What’s Involved?

Various staff members complete an online survey in their area of responsibility (e.g. Aquatics, Intramurals etc.). Department-wide involvement in completing these surveys ensures buy-in to overall project, plus ownership of the outcomes detailed in the report.

Eight (8) Program surveys

  • Aquatics
  • Fitness/ Wellness
  • Intramurals
  • Non-credit Instruction
  • Outdoor Program
  • Sport Clubs
  • Youth Camps
  • Weight Room/ Fitness Center

Seven (7) General Administration surveys

  • Risk Management Plan
  • Emergency Response Plan
  • Facilities & Equipment
  • Rentals & Special Events
  • Waivers
  • Transportation
  • Concussions

The focus of each of the ‘Program’ surveys is the ‘5 Key Risk Areas’:

  • Emergency Response Plan
  • Supervision/ Instruction
  • Training
  • Facilities & Equipment
  • Documentation

This means that meaningful comparisons can be made between program units and hence inconsistencies are targeted.

Each survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete

What do you get?

SportRisk analyzes data

The ‘Concussions Training Package’ developed by SportRisk has been a great online training tool for our recreation participants and staff.

The material presented in the animated videos is easy to follow and highly engaging. Administration of the training package is easy – it’s all done online.

One of the great features for us is the ‘tracking tool’ which records to a spreadsheet each participant’s completion of the training, which in our fast paced environment is key.  This training package has been a great addition to our staff orientation. We also appreciate institutional support and endorsement of the training package through Risk Manager Merv Dahl!
