    • have the ability to do the tight thing at the right time
    • can recognise and deal with danger
    • are able to make an instant and dynamic risk assessment and know how to complete
    • Understand that being safe is a vital part of a successful search and rescue
  • Through courses such as the Event Water Safety Manager we help ensure that individuals know how to create, sustain and manage activity that avoids danger
