Swiftwater Safety and Awareness

This 1-day Swiftwater Safety and Awareness program emphasizes river assessment and safety while working around, on, or in bodies of water, including practical distinctions between safe and non-safe water sites. Skills are taught based on the "Hazards to Observe (H2O)" program developed for employees working around a moving water site, including swimming, river crossing, and basic rescue techniques. The course consists of an online learning component followed by a full day at the water site.
This training meets the recommendations of the NFPA at the Awareness level, and the Guidelines for Safe Working Procedures published by Alberta Workplace Heath and Safety.
Certification is valid for 3 years. Re-certification is through re-taking the same course.
Prerequisite: strong swimming skills and confidence in open, moving water.
