Risk Management in Boating

Risk management in boating involves identifying potential hazards—like rough weather, equipment failure, or collisions—and taking steps to reduce their impact. This includes proper planning, maintaining equipment, wearing life jackets, and staying informed about weather conditions. The goal is to anticipate possible dangers, assess their likelihood and severity, and implement strategies to prevent accidents or minimize injuries if incidents occur. Effective risk management ensures safer outings, protects crew and boat, and helps owners make informed decisions to enjoy boating responsibly.
