As the weather gets hotter, people are more likely to visit the coast or a water park during their time off, but what precautions should you take?
Assess the weather– If there is a typhoon or a torrential rain warning, do not engage in any water-related activities
Check if there are lifeguards– Engage in water-relatedactivities only in locations that employ lifeguards and obey their instructions
Avoid dangerous locations -Do not engage in water activities at any locations where there are signs “playing in the water/swimming is strictly forbidden,” or “danger! Deep water”
In the event of an accident, shout for help and call 119-If you see someone drowning, shout for help at the top of your voice and call emergency services at 119. Do not jump into the water yourself and try to save the person in difficulty
Wear a life jacket– Anyone engaged in rock fishing should wear a life jacket, spiked shoes, a hard hat, and pay close attention to the wind and waves along the coast to ensure their safety.
