Following the launch of the new UPLOADS App last week, we have scheduled weekly Q&A video conference sessions that users can register to join here (you can register for one, or many sessions).

The topic of the first session, scheduled for Friday 21 September from 2-3 pm (AEST) will be “Setting up your UPLOADS Account“. Participants will be guided through the registration process and shown how to set up their organisations account, and are welcome to raise any other questions that they may have during that time.

Topics for subsequent sessions will be advertised in due course. If there is anything in particular that you would like for us to cover, please contact the UPLOADS Team.

The UPLOADS Team are very pleased to have been awarded the Impacting Practice Award at the 20th International Ergonomics Association Congress in Florence this week.

It is great to see the UPLOADS project being recognised! We hope that the work continues to have real world impact as we move in to the next stage.

You can participate

We are now recruiting LOA organisations to use the new UPLOADS App to record incident reports, LOA participation data and action plans to address identified problems. If your organisation would like to participate, please contact us.

Clare Dallat, our incredible HDR student (who is in the final stages of thesis examination) and Executive Director of Research and Innovation, and Director of Risk Resolve at the Outdoor Education Group has been named the very deserving winner of the 2018 Charles (Reb) Gregg Wilderness Risk Management Award!

The award is presented annually at the Wilderness Risk Management Conference and recognises an individual who has made significant contributions in risk management to the outdoor education and adventure profession.

Clare is an educator, program administrator, and student of risk management. Originally from Ireland, she works primarily in Australia and has presented academic research all over the world. Among other projects, she is working to understand why incidents happen and develop evidenced-based staff training curriculum to reduce incidents.

Clare will be travelling to Portland, Oregon to accept her award on Wednesday 3 October.

Congratulations Clare!

For those considering registering to use the new UPLOADS App for incident reporting, take a look at our new video providing an overview of the App’s key features:

Use of the UPLOADS App is free until 2021, and by submitting your organisations data you have the opportunity to contribute to a cutting edge research project that has the potential to make outdoor activities safer for you, and the wider community.
