Annual Member Competency Training
Chris Tattersall
Next Saturday, 19 October is our annual competency training, starting at 9:00am. Attendance is expected of all on-water members and volunteers, and is an opportunity to discuss and refresh our skills in:
How to run a race
how to run a race correctly, efficiently and safely, by Andrew Cox
essential for COTD/ PRO duty
How to use DBSC equipment
how to correctly use all the various bits of DBSC equipment, led by Pat Levy
using the davits safely, avoiding breaking the RIBs or the Jazzman, avoid losing anchors, how to use the radio safely, and how generally to avoid getting booked by Maritime. Great timing as a new RIB is on its way:)
How to save people
Emergency, rescue and first aid, conducted by David Murphy
includes an annual refresher on rescue techniques, CPR, defibrillator use and bonus chats on shark-bites and DBSC child-safety.
In advance of this, kindly familiarise/ re-familiarise yourself with the policies and training materials available on the DBSC website. Maybe start with some of our training videos.
