FIRMC® was recently at the AUSFitness Industry 2023 held at the International Convention Center (ICC) in Sydney between 28 – 29 April 2023. Dr Betul Sekendiz, Managing Director FIRMC® presented a lecture session at the Business of Fitness Summit entitled “Risk Management for Health and Fitness Professionals to Minimise the Risk of Legal Liability”.
The learning objectives of the lecture session were: (a) to identify the most common sources of legal liability in the health and fitness industry; and (b) to develop risk mitigation strategies that can promote the safety of the health and fitness services and minimise the risk of legal liability. The session drew on the most current research findings, case law, experiences, and scenario-based discussions.
The topics covered:
-Risk management in the health/fitness industry
-Risks in the health and fitness industry
-The return on investment (ROI) of risk management
-Sources of risks of legal liability in the health/fitness industry
-Risk management strategies
-Q&A
One of the core messages from the session was that above all the ROI benefits of risk management, “Investing into risk management sends a powerful message about your business: We care for the wellbeing of our clients”.
Some amazing feedback from the participants at the session were:
“Your session was by far the most relative and useful session on the trade show.”
“The session has definitely been an eye opener about risk management in our industry. I will revise our pre-exercise screening systems immediately.”
