This 1-day Flatwater Safety & Rescue course is designed for natural resource and industrial field personnel who work near, in or on non-moving water including lakes and ponds, or very slow moving water including flood or tidal waters.
The course identifies the hazards that are associated with flat water, and details the safe work procedures and equipment that can be used to reduce the risks.
Participants learn self rescue skills, and shore-based rescue “reach” and “throw” techniques for the rescue of others, using both standard and improvised rescue equipment. The curriculum also covers low risk wading and swimming rescue techniques.
Note: If you work around moving water, consider our Safe Work In Swiftwater course.

Our private training courses ensure personalized hands-on training through human-based scenarios
If you have a group that would like to review their training together, the training maintenance program may be right for you.
Your group pays the instructor’s daily teaching fee and travel costs associated with bringing the instructor to your training location, along with an annual fee to be part of the maintenance program. This is generally a pretty reasonable approach for training departments because:
We track your members, and their status on course content completion within a three year cycle, which mirrors a traditional three year recertification cycle. It’s an excellent value for the cost, and allows you to review your skills in your own backyard.
The training maintenance program replaces the need to recertifiy your training on a traditional three year recertification cycle.
Sorry – there’s no individual audit program available for this course.
