Liability and risk are major concerns for advisors. High-risk activities include athletics, physical events, transportation, minors, non-UNL individuals, and alcohol-related events. Before each event, review potential risks with your RSO and discuss strategies to reduce them.
Key Risk Management Questions:
- What’s the worst that can happen?
- If it happens, how do we respond?
- How can we prevent it?
- Are there safer alternatives?
- How do we manage risk throughout the event?
- Do we need waivers?
Proactive planning helps ensure a safe and successful event while minimizing liability.
