National Safe Boating Week
Five Top Tips for Boating Safety
Provided by the National
Safe Boating Council* These five simple steps will
dramatically reduce your chances of being hurt or killed
in a boating accident.
#1. WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKET!
Most people who are killed while pleasure boating drown—and most
people who drown are not wearing a life jacket. When you capsize, collide,
or fall overboard, there is rarely time to get to a stowed life jacket.
Modern life jackets are smaller and more comfortable making it easier
than ever to "Wear It!" at all times.
#2. STAY SOBER IN YOUR BOAT!*
An operator with a blood alcohol content above .10—(equivalent
to consuming 5 beers in one hour for the average 180-lb. male)—is
ten times more likely to die in a boating accident than an operator with
zero blood alcohol. Stressors such as sun, vibration, noise, and other
environmental elements affect the body more when you consume alcohol.
Boating while impaired is an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada.
Operators with more than 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres
of blood are liable to be fined
#3. TAKE A SAFE BOATING COURSE!*
Seventy percent of recreational boating accidents are caused by factors
that are controlled by the boat’s operator—such as failure
to pay attention, carelessness, recklessness, inexperience, excessive
speed, and failure to watch for hazards. Boating safety courses are available,
inexpensive, and quick—a great way for you to learn safety and the
rules of the road.
Boating Courses offered by Royal City Squadron
.
#4. GET YOUR BOAT CHECKED!*
A Pleasure Craft Courtesy Check (also known as a Courtesy Examination)
is a FREE service provided by the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary to assist
you, the owner/operator of a small craft (up to 65’ or 20m), in
maintaining your vessel’s safety equipment at standards acceptable
to the marine environment.
For more information about this free service, please see http://www.ccga-pacific.org/c-safety_03.html.
#5. BE AWARE OF CARBON MONOXIDE!
All boat engines produce Carbon Monoxide (CO)—an odorless, colorless,
poisonous gas that can kill you in a matter of minutes. Boaters are killed
every year because of improper cabin ventilation, poorly maintained equipment,
and careless behavior. You do not have to be inside the boat to be at
risk. Boaters have died from exposure on the swim platforms of their boats
and in other areas where CO exhaust may accumulate or be emitted. Be aware
of the early symptoms (irritated eyes, headache, nausea, weakness, and
dizziness), and use CO detectors on your boat.
