CONVENTIONAL RAFTING
WARNING
All personnel must wear approved life jackets and unblouse
pants from boots while operating equipment on or near
water. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to
personnel.
Different size rafts require different numbers of boats. At a
minimum, one boat is required for every three bays. Use
additional boats in rough water, when the current is fast, in
bad weather and when directed. Failure to comply may
cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
Hold safety rails to avoid being thrown overboard. Failure to
comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
Ensure all personnel are clear of lines under load. Failure to
comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
Reduce speed in rough water and when water washes over
the raft. Failure to comply may result in injury to personnel
and damage to equipment.
