The objective of Technical and Vocational Education (TVET) is to form individuals who have good technical skills. Various efforts have been made in TVET to prepare individuals who are skilled, knowledgeable and capable and who can apply what they have learnt in outdoor education. Risk management is important in outdoor education to ensure a safe environment for every programme that is run outdoors. Risk management seeks to control, prevent and reduce the occurrences of accidents and injuries. This study was conducted to explore Risk Management Elements in Outdoor Education (RiMOE). The study employed the qualitative method to obtain data by using semi-structured interviews to explore the risk management elements that could further function as expert evidence and be aligned with the thoughts, ideas and opinions generated from experts in the field of outdoor education. The analysis showed that this study had successfully determined four dominant elements associated with risk management in outdoor education. Therefore, this study showed the RiMOE elements required by the lecturer, with the dominant elements being identification, selection of operations, implementation and evaluation.
