Unlike flat water, moving water presents a totally different and more
deadly hazard. The force of moving water has to be experienced first hand
to be believed. Factor into this equation common river features such as
weirs, bridges and trees and you suddenly unearth numerous lethal obstacles
to be trapped in, against or under. Any stretch of moving water under
certain conditions can become particularly unforgiving, where common misconceptions
and instinctive safety responses, such as the use of a rescue line, can
prove fatal without carefully controlled training. RIG have designed the
following programmes to respond to the specific demands of industry.
