2. We are unaware of Legal Implications of using a device/equipment which is not rated to be adequately safe for ourselves

3. We are unaware of our own liability by wearing /using a device/equipment which is not rated to be adequately safe for ourselves


IMPLEMENTATION PLAN1. ISO 12402 OR EQUIVALENT

STEERSPERSONSTANDARDIZATION

• Basic Helm Accreditation – to certify The Steersperson (STP) is fit to helm the dragon boat, especially in races

• STP issued a lifetime validity certificate

• Training of STP is the responsibility of each respective dragon boat team

• Only certified coaches & trainers can train a STP (to be declared in the Basic Helm Accreditation registration form)

• No prosecution of STP if involved in a dangerous occurrence

PRESENT PRACTICE

DRAGON BOAT SYMPOSIUM 2015: STEERSPERSON STANDARDIZATION

• In a year, a NSTP candidate can only sit for two(2) Basic Helm Accreditation course if he failed the first one

• After 1-year from date of issue, NSTP can change the pass for certificate for a fee of $20. This fee is on-top of the

registration fee for the Basic Helm Accreditation course
