Risk Management Plan Assignment

The main objective is to complete a Risk Management Policy & Procedure Manual for an organization of your choice, preferably your Shark Tank project. The key to doing this project well is to start with policies, protocols, and procedures that need to be implemented by the organization (bulleted is fine), followed by a concise legal rationale for doing so from a managerial perspective.  The rationale will include justification utilizing a number of legal sources including:

–           Legal understanding and case research throughout the semester from the briefs

–           Understanding of the law based on the textbook, the cases, and class discussion

–           Applicable statutes/statutes/municipal codes

–           Facilitation projects and development of RM protocols

The Manual has a number of sections including:

–           A General Supervision section which includes Facility and Equipment & Emergency Action Plan

o          Develop a supervisory procedural plan conducted by the employees to oversee the participants to keep them from harm

o          This should include how the participants are medically supervised

         This section may also need to discuss contracted services for repair and maintenance

o          A section that includes how to address EMERGENCY ACTIONS
