Starting the Project
The International Incident Database Design Project was initiated by
Rick Curtis of OutdoorEd.com and OutdoorSafety.org in 2002 after
talking to program managers from many countries at the 2002 Wilderness
Risk Management Conference in the US and the Risk 2002 Conference in
New Zealand. There is agreement that the outdoor education industry
will ultimately benefit from developing a common standard for collecting
and storing and analyzing incident data.
