Topics: Dynamic Risk Assessment • Safety Culture • Teamwork

On the face of it you would struggle to imagine a more dangerous sport than rock climbing.

The reality is somewhat different with far fewer accidents than you might think. In fact rock climbing has a long established safety record that is based on sound systems and procedures just as in the modern workplace.

Where we can perhaps learn most from the rock climbers is their positive attitude towards safety and the part it plays in enabling them to enjoy their sport. To do this climbers have developed the use of a system of Dynamic Risk Assessments to help them cope with the ever changing risks they face that make each climb and each set of hazards unique.

Used by others such as the Fire Service this approach enables workers to identify and assess potential hazards on an almost minute by minute basis rather than relying solely on formal risk assessments.

We were inspired by this pragmatic and flexible approach to safety that allows climbers to enjoy their enthralling and challenging sport. We hope that you are too.

The Climbers Attitude is a two part programme that offers an innovative, refreshing and visually inspiring approach.

Training topics include:

• Teamwork
• Dynamic Risk Assessment
• Asking the What If? Question
• Identifying Hazards Not Covered By Formal Risk Assessments

Beautifully shot in Britain’s Peak District this film will capture the imagination of your trainees while encouraging them to take a fresh look around their workplace with a climber’s “What If?” attitude.
