Abstract
The focus of the management of outdoor activities is keeping participants safe. Developing safety management practices (SMPs) encourages participants' safe behaviour (SB) and prevents accidents. The study examined the relationship between SMPs and SB among outdoor participants. Two hundred and fifty outdoor participants were respondents. The Vinodkumar and Bhasi questionnaire was administered to the participants. The majority of respondents, 49.4% (n=126), participated in outdoor activities once or twice a week. Results showed a moderate relationship between SMPs and SB (r (255) = 0.697, p<0.001). The study recommends that outdoor activities management should implement policies to promote safety to prevent accidents.
