This session lays the foundation for all subsequent workshops. Interpreters will gain an understanding of how risk management in wilderness and outdoor settings differs from traditional interpreting environments. Participants will explore personal safety responsibilities, dynamic decision-making, and professional boundaries that ensure both their safety and the quality of interpretation in the field.

By the end of this workshop, interpreters will have the tools to assess risks, recognize environmental hazards, and engage in proactive safety practices during outdoor assignments.
