Working Near Water

There are many rivers, canals, lakes and ponds in Cheshire so it's important all team members are regularly taught how to work safely near water. Training includes when to wear personal floatation devices (life jackets), how to search from river and canal banks and rescue techniques that can be carried out from the water’s edge.

We are also beginning to work with Southport Off-Shore Rescue Trust so that jointly we can affect safe rescue for people who are in the water.
