Typical hazards & measures
Being stranded due to equipment failure
— Regularly check equipment and ensure participants know how to signal for help. Keep a rescue boat on standby to assist participants if needed.
Prolonged exposure to cold
— Ensure regular warm-up breaks and provide access to warm clothing or blankets. Monitor participants for signs of cold stress, especially after extended periods in cold water.
Inadequate supervision
— Maintain appropriate instructor-to-participant ratios, ensure instructors hold relevant qualifications, and conduct regular headcounts to avoid participants being left unsupervised.
Cold water
— Provide participants with wetsuits or dry suits when necessary. Rescue boats should carry thermal blankets, and instructors should monitor participants closely for early signs of hypothermia.
Inexperienced participants
— Tailor the activity level to participant skill. Beginners should receive additional instruction and direct supervision, and sessions should be adapted based on confidence and ability.
