Risk

 

The activities Live4Adventure provide are hazardous by their nature and it is important that you must accept there is a certain element of risk with your chosen course. For example the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) Participation Statement says that: The BMC recognises that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions. All of our activities are risk assessed and continually reviewed with appropriate safety measures in place to assist in ensuring your wellbeing. All staff are trained and inducted in to company policies and procedures and follow current good practice and company operating procedures.

​

Parents and guardians must recognise there is a degree of risk in our activities before signing the declaration form for children under the age of 18 years.

Operating Procedures

 

Live4Adventure's Operating Procedures are important guidelines for our staff to follow to ensure the safe conduct of activity sessions. They are based on generic and site specific risk assessments taken from wide consultation with technical experts and staff. Our Operating Procedures are regarded as guidelines for qualified and experienced staff to use as a basis for their own dynamic risk assessment before and during the activity. Live4Adventure staff will ensure that they operate within their own ability, experience and equipment to run safe, 

challenging activities.

Live4Adventure hold public liability insurance for £10 million with Activities Industry Mutual. We do, however, recommend that all participants take out their own suitable insurance and ensure that you are covered for taking part in adventurous activities.
