Helping your staff stay safe

Tour operator avalanche and mountain safety talks

We are asked every year by a number of tour operators to come and give a customised version of RIDE HARD RIDE SAFE our introductory talk as part of their pre season staff training.

British seasonal staff have suffered some unfortunate off-piste accidents over the years.  The aim of this session is to help seasonal staff to avoid this.  We will ensure the staff are aware of the dangers and give them some practical advice on how to stay safe.  This recognises that they will go off piste and helps them manage the situation.  We also cover a number of aspects of on piste safety and conduct.

Pricing is based on group size:

RIDE HARD RIDE SAFE

  • £200 for up to 20 (you provide audio visual equipment)
  • £250 for up 21-40 (you provide audio visual equipment)
  • £300 for over 40 or if we supply the audio visual equipment

We have delivered these talks throughout the French Alps and also gone to Italy and Switzerland if required.

We also have other, advanced modules that can work well for seasonal staff.  Please see the HAT Club page for details.
