Safety by the water
Education & Training
– Water Safety Knowledge
Our education programs are designed to give companies, municipalities, and organizations the knowledge and confidence to manage safety by the water. We cover everything from understanding legal responsibilities under the Civil Protection Act (LSO) to practical skills such as inspection routines, emergency procedures, and the correct use of lifesaving equipment.
A key part of the training is guidance on what equipment is necessary and recommended for different environments – such as lifebuoy stations, ladders, rescue hooks, throw lines, and fire cabinets. We provide clear checklists and best practice advice to ensure that your site is always properly equipped and ready for emergencies.
The goal is simple: to raise awareness, reduce risks, and create safer water environments for everyone.

Have other questions?
Who can participate in your safety training sessions?
Anyone working in or around waterfront environments can take part in our training sessions.
Our safety training is suitable for both experienced professionals and individuals with no prior safety background. This includes staff at marinas, ports, industrial waterfronts, bathing areas, and public facilities, as well as seasonal workers, contractors, and operational teams. The level of training is adapted to the participants’ roles, making it accessible and highly relevant for a wide range of workplaces and environments where water-related risks exist.
Can the training be customized for our specific risks and environment?
Yes, we tailor the training to match your site, your risks, and your operational needs.
Because each location has unique conditions, we customize content based on your environment, activities, and existing safety equipment. This may include adjusting the training to local conditions such as water depth, currents, climate, access points, or common user scenarios. We also incorporate maps, site photos, and real-life situations from your facility so participants receive practical, directly applicable knowledge. The goal is to make the training as relevant and effective as possible for your team.
How often should professional inspections of rescue equipment be performed?
Professional inspections are typically recommended at least once a year.
An annual inspection ensures that all equipment remains safe, functional, and properly placed. In harsher climates or high-risk areas, more frequent inspections may be advisable. A professional review looks beyond basic visual checks and examines corrosion, wear, UV damage, mounting systems, accessibility, and visibility. The recommended frequency can vary depending on your environment, usage, and local expectations, but the yearly inspection is a solid foundation for maintaining consistent safety standards.
Can you help us create or improve our internal inspection routines?
Yes, we can help you build clear, practical inspection routines tailored to your site.
We assist in establishing routines that cover both everyday checks and scheduled maintenance inspections. This includes helping you define responsibilities, determine suitable intervals, and set up documentation that fits your operational workflow. We can also review your current routines to identify gaps or improvements, ensuring that your internal processes are both realistic to maintain and aligned with best practices for waterfront safety.
What types of shore safety equipment can be rented?
We offer rental options for essential rescue equipment such as lifebuoy stations, throw lines, rescue ladders, signage, and selected temporary safety solutions.
Rental equipment is ideal for temporary needs, seasonal operations, or situations where you want to test a setup before making a long-term investment. Depending on your requirements, we can provide temporary rescue stations, access ladders, safety signs, and other shoreline safety products that meet the same functional standards as permanent installations. If you have a special event or project, we can help determine the most suitable temporary setup.
How long can equipment be rented for — short-term or long-term?
You can rent equipment for short periods, full seasons, or on a long-term basis.
Short-term rentals are perfect for events or temporary projects lasting days or weeks. Seasonal rentals support marinas, bathing areas, and waterfront facilities that operate only part of the year. For customers who prefer flexibility or bundled services, we also offer long-term rental arrangements that can include inspections, maintenance, and product replacement. In many cases, rental equipment can later be converted into a permanent solution if needed.
Can you help us assess what safety equipment we need for our site?
Yes, we can help you evaluate your risks and determine which safety equipment your site requires.
We offer assistance through site visits or remote assessments based on maps, drawings, and photos. By reviewing your location, activity level, and existing setups, we can identify risk areas and recommend appropriate equipment, quantities, and placement strategies. The assessment can be delivered as an action plan or layout proposal, giving you a clear foundation for budgeting, decision-making, and long-term safety planning.
