No good deed goes unpunished

Risk management activities that will reduce accidents while taking care of people with disabilities are: 1. Do not just teach; teach why. When instructing volunteers and paid staff about safety equipment, explain the role this equipment plays in preventing injuries. 2. Experiment with training techniques to find an approach that works. 3. Measure the effectiveness of your safety and risk management techniques. 4. Enforce measures that keep your clients and other personnel safe. 5. If it is broken, fix it. If rules are ineffective or equipment does not perform as intended, find new ways to keep the clients safe. These risk management techniques can be applied to any nonprofit committed to protecting its clients from harm.
