S7-E164: Responsibilities of a Good Trainer - Reducing Risks
Safety is the #1 priority on and off the range. Everyone must do their part to prevent accidents. When properly trained, firearm incidents are rare. Those that happen are the result of ignorance (lack of knowledge) and/or carelessness (not following safe gun handling procedures).
If we are trained and plan to instruct or coach others in the proper and safe use of firearms, we need to focus on Risk Management, which is a four (4) step process:
Identify risks,
Evaluate risks,
Select an approach to deal with risks, and
Implement the approach by reducing or eliminating the risk, avoiding the risk, accepting the risk, or transferring the risk to someone else.
We have a responsibility to the public and those we are working with, both on and off the range, around firearms. Failing to fulfill this responsibility is considered negligence. We are negligent if we fail to exercise skill and knowledge normally possessed by other like-minded trainers, instructors, and coaches.
When determining negligence, four (4) questions are asked:
Duty: Did you have a responsibility to the injured party in this situation?
Breach: Did you fail to fulfill this responsibility?
Damages: Was there an injury to the party to whom you owed the responsibility?
Causation: Did your failure to fulfill the responsibility cause the injury?
Learn about the nine (9) responsibilities and duties of a good trainer, instructor or coach to prevent negligence.
