Don't forget to share safety!
Don't forget to share safety!
As the frontline connection to America's boaters, retailers are the most influential source for boating information
Last year, 658 died while boating, and sadly, most were preventable accidents. The U.S. Coast Guard would like to remind you to share boating safety information with your customers each time you encounter them.
Among others, this includes the importance of:
- Always wearing life jackets
- Using an engine cutoff device
- Avoiding impairment while operating a boat
- Always have a proper lookout
- Understanding changing weather conditions
- Getting a free vessel safety check
- Knowing the rules of the road, navigation
