Safety
The Highest Safety Standards
Our safety procedures adhere to Nō Te Rere Moana Aotearoa (Maritime New Zealand) stringent requirements.
Te Ara Moana Trust has a Specified Limits Permit (SLP) issued by Maritime New Zealand.
An SLP is a safety management system that covers specialised operations or operations that don't fit under existing Maritime Rules. SLPs are designed for vessels that operate outside of normal flows of marine traffic, are close to shore and have a limited scope of operation within limited areas. That's us.
Our Safety Systems
We use the FLASH (Factors Likely to Accentuate Serious Harm) scale.
FLASH risk rating is a comprehensive system that enables us to communicate, calculate and manage risk for each activity.
Our experienced instructors assess and rate risks before every single activity is undertaken.
Use of FLASH helps us to ensure our safety management systems meet the needs of schools.
