Episode 175: The Green Light Program With Vaughn Vernon

Today we are joined by Vaughn Vernon, owner and director of Affiliate Guard, an industry-specific company that provides insurance coverage for CrossFit affiliates.

In this episode, Vaughn discusses the Green Light program, a new Affiliate Guard service designed to help gym owners ensure their businesses are compliant with the Safe Sport Act—written to protect young victims from sexual abuse—due to go into effect in 2020.

To be in compliance with this legislation, gym owners will need to conduct annual background checks on trainers, create anonymous tip lines, develop incident documentation procedures and more.

Vaughn shares how the Green Light program will give Affiliate Guard affiliates the resources, templates and procedures they need in order to be compliant and shares best practices for avoiding litigation once this legislation goes into effect.
