The JLBC Cadet Corps Risk Exposures guidelines have identified several key considerations to mitigate operational and non-operational risks.

Operational Risk Exposures:

1. Clear Definition of Cadet Roles: This involves clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of the cadets. They should not be used as a substitute for professional firefighters. They must be guided and supervised at all times.

2. Compliance with DOL Guidelines: Complying with Department of Labor guidelines is paramount. Any violation could result in legal action and pose a risk to the cadets' safety.

Non-operational Risk Exposures:

1. Anti-Harassment Policies: Implement stringent policies to prevent harassment, bullying, and workplace violence. Create an open environment for reporting such instances and take swift action against offenders.

2. Training: Regular training sessions for active, senior, and Cadet members on understanding, identifying, and reporting non-operational risk factors.

Both these risk types can be controlled with the proper measures, including strict adherence to DOL guidelines, routine safety, risk-awareness training, and a zero-tolerance policy for misconduct. Implementing these safeguards will not only protect the cadets but also ensure the sustainability of the program.
