IDENTIFY AND COPE WITH THE DAY-TO-DAY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH AN EYE TO MANAGING THE RISKS OF GETTING INJURED OR SUED.

We live in an environment full of risk. The simple act of crossing the street as a pedestrian can be rife with danger, i.e., cars, buses and trucks ignoring traffic laws, bicyclists ignoring the pedestrian, a street full of potholes where one misstep can result in serious bodily injury. To make matters worse, we live in a litigious society (over 40 million lawsuits are commenced in the U.S. every year). One lawsuit can be disastrous and end a business. This workshop will train participants to identify and cope with the day-to-day risks associated with an eye to managing the risks of getting injured or sued.
