MITIGATE RISK
Risk Mitigation
Stay Safe Instructional Programs have designed their training programs and services to maximize the mitigation of risk not only to the employer, but most importantly to any company’s No. 1 asset the employee both from civil and criminal liability. We believe we have been able to accomplish this by delivering “Court Defensible” programs and services.
What is “Court Defensible”?
Court Defensibility indicates that the facilitator, programs and/or materials have or can be tested in the judicial system (civil, criminal or other). This provides the client with a level of comfort that they can be protected from civil and criminal liability by displaying a level of due diligence and “standard of care” that is virtually required. Here are some questions that every client may wish to ask before engaging a Trainer or Consultant.
