OUR SAFETY COMMITMENT

STRONG EXPERIENCES REQUIRE STRONG STANDARDS.

 

Outdoor adventure involves challenge.

Responsible leadership means preparing for it.

HOTF works to strengthen safety across our people, programs, environments, equipment, and decision-making.

​

OUR COMMITMENT

​PREPARE WELL.
Plan before the experience begins.

​

KNOW THE ENVIRONMENT.
Evaluate weather, location, activity, equipment, and changing conditions.

 

PROTECT THE BOY.
Safety, dignity, appropriate boundaries, and well-being come before programming.

​

RESPOND RESPONSIBLY.
When circumstances change, we adjust, stop, report, communicate, or seek additional support when necessary.

 

SAFETY OVER SCHEDULE.

An event can be changed.

An activity can be canceled.

A plan can be adjusted.

Protecting the boys entrusted to us comes first.

 

ALWAYS IMPROVING.

Safety is not a document we write once and place on a shelf.

HOTF continually evaluates experiences, training, procedures, equipment, partnerships, and lessons learned.

RESPONSIBLE GROWTH REQUIRES CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.
