It is vitally important that the provision of PRE is consistently applied to ensure the suitability to the local environment, as well as assisting with general public and visitor knowledge and awareness of its availability and use. PRE along inland waterways must be appropriate for the features and conditions of the aquatic environment. The equipment should be easy to use by members of the public with minimal hesitation and without putting the rescuer’s safety at risk. It should also be positioned in appropriate locations with due consideration to maintenance, vandalism and communication strategies. As with all inland waterway management issues, decisions should be based upon a robust and regular risk assessment process. In some cases, the risk assessment results could indicate that PRE is not required, such as some very shallow rivers or areas where historically no incidents have occurred. However, PRE requirements should never be looked at in isolation; other control measures may complement or indeed replace PRE, such as education, signage, zoning, or lifeguard services.

Paddle Safety Paddle Safety Safety Factsheet # 12 Overview Because of their small size and instability, paddle craft operators are vulnerable in the water. They are also vulnerable in bad weather conditions and cold water. Paddle craft are also involved in incidents caused by other vessel operators, like incidents resulting from a lack of proper lookout or excess speed. For these reasons, paddle craft safety is a priority issue in the Australian Water Safety Strategy. You should always wear a lifejacket and be prepared for the conditions and check the weather ahead of your trip. If the weather changes while you are on the water, change your course and find a more sheltered site or return to shore. Know the limits of your craft, as well as your own paddle abilities as paddling in certain weather conditions such as high wind can be extremely tiring.Increasing the visibility of your paddle craft is also important. It is always a good idea to wear bright clothing and lifejacket, and choose a bright hull to make sure you can be seen by larger vessels. Tips to stay safe: Your craft and equipment Be bright and be seen. Make sure you and your craft are easily visible at all times. Wear bright clothing and a bright lifejacket and choose a brightly coloured hull if possible Always wear a lifejacket At night display the right lights to help others see you. Before you head out Ensure your craft is suitable for your ability and the conditions before you go Check the weather, and if the weather or water looks rough, postpone your paddle or pick a more sheltered location Tell someone where you are going and estimated time of return. While you are out on the water Watch out for larger vessels – never try to cross ahead, always pass behind larger craft Stay close to the shore wherever possible – keep out of the way of larger vessels Choose a paddle location that isn’t too busy with larger vessels Stay in a group if possible.
