Free New RNLI 'The-Safety' CD-ROM Ready For Delivery
June 05, 2005
As sea users prepare to take to the water this season, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is preparing to launch their second interactive 'The-safety' CD-ROM in a bid to help sailors and sport divers alike stay safe at sea.
RNLI 2004 statistics show, 3134 lifeboat launches were to the aid of people involved in water sports and sailing -- around 60 every week. In many cases, the upset of the callout could have been avoided if sea users were aware of simple safety guidelines.
As part of the RNLI's programme of sea safety advice, the new interactive CD-ROM is aimed at all sea users -- from sailors and power boaters to dinghy sailors and personal water craft (jetski) enthusiasts -- whether novice or professional, and is crammed full of interactive games, animations and video clips specifically tailored to their chosen pursuit.
Building on the highly acclaimed success of its predecessor, The-safety CD is packed with hints and tips from the experts to help you stay safe at sea. New and updated sections of the CD-ROM include:
- Clothing
- Sea Survival
- Fire
- Flares
- Weather and tides
RNLI Sea Safety Co-ordinator, Tony Wafer, explains:
'Our new free and interactive CD-ROM means that it's now easier than ever for sea users to get their hands on the latest safety advice. It's easy to navigate and offers all sea users instant access to a wealth of crucial safety news and information.
'The RNLI is committed to saving lives at sea and a fundamental part of this is increasing safety awareness amongst sea users to avoid dangerous situations arising in the first place.'
Rescues and safety awareness programmes are key parts of the RNLI's work. To stay in touch with the latest safety advice, sea users can sign up for the RNLI's Offshore membership. Designed for leisure sea users who are most likely to need the services of the RNLI, Offshore is recommended for everyone taking to the water.
To obtain your free copy of The-safety CD call the RNLI on 0800 328 0600 or log on to www.rnli.org.uk/seasafety.
