Typical hazards & measures
Rescue boat failure
— Rescue boats should be checked regularly and equipped with necessary safety gear such as kill cords, paddles, and throw lines. A backup boat should always be available in case of failure.
Medical conditions
— Collect medical information from participants and ensure that medications such as inhalers or EpiPens are on hand. Instructors should be trained in handling medical emergencies.
Lack of first aid response
— Ensure all instructors are first aid trained and that first aid kits are readily accessible on both land and rescue boats. Develop an emergency response plan that includes access to medical facilities.
Motor vessels nearby
— Establish communication with motor vessel operators to avoid accidents, and brief participants on how to safely navigate around larger vessels. Use visual signals if needed. Avoid areas with lots of motor traffic.
Navigation hazards (rocks, sandbanks, shallow waters)
— Conduct thorough site assessments and communicate navigation hazards to participants. Mark out areas to avoid using buoys or visual markers, and ensure participants are familiar with local charts or maps.
