National Water Safety Management Programme (NWSMP)
Welcome to the National Water Safety Management Programme (NWSMP)
your pathway to ensuring safety for employees working in, on, or near water. Whether you’re a teacher, technician, outdoor instructor, countryside ranger, community safety warden, dock worker, or part of the emergency services, water safety is paramount. Our suite of interlinked training awards is tailored to help organisations meet their civil and statutory safety obligations, especially for those with supervisory responsibilities.
Three Levels of Comprehensive Training + Customisable Modules
Dive into our structured programme, designed to meet your specific needs:
Level 1 – Dry Based Safety Essentials
Perfect for those working or supervising near water without the intention of entering it. Ideal for school teachers taking students on field trips, community safety wardens, or park rangers. Learn crucial safety strategies while staying dry! 🌊✏️
Level 2 – Shallow Water Safety (Up to Thigh Height)
For those more likely to be close to or in water, but still within standing depth. Think construction workers, countryside rangers, or teachers leading rock pooling or pond dipping. You’ll gain practical skills to handle shallow water safely. 🚧🐚
Completion of Level 1 is required before undertaking Level 2.
Level 3 – In-Water Rescue for Programmed Activities
Take your training to the next level! For professionals supervising deepwater activities like canoeing, kayaking, or outdoor adventure sessions. This is your essential training for scenarios where individuals may find themselves out of their depth. 🛶🏊
Levels 1 and 2 must be completed prior to Level 3.
