How do the risks relate to your goals?
      Risk = Probability x Severity x Time
      Consider whether the risks:

           - can be managed appropriately by the instructional team

How will you manage the risks?
      Avoid - choose not to do the activity
      Mitigate - reduce the risk through safety equipment or limits
      Manage - train staff to manage risk using industry standards
           - how do you determine industry standards?
           - suggestions for ways to manage low and high risk activities
           - plan to respond to incidents in the field

What do you review when you're out of the field?
      Qualitative review
