Abstract

Water rescue is a critical area of safety that warrants careful examination, particularly in the context of how we approach training, equipment provision, and rescue techniques. During my experiences with various organizations—ranging from rescue professionals to industries seeking solutions to their challenges—I have observed a significant disparity in the strategies employed for water rescue compared to those utilized in Working at Height scenarios.
