Water poses a hazard because of its potential to make volunteers cold or to create slippery working conditions as well as the danger of drowning. Pools and rivers often also present pollution hazards. - Never leave people alone working in or close to open water.
- Don't work in deep or fast flowing water.
- Avoid crumbling or slippery waterside banks.
- Don't drink stream or river water.
- Avoid working in soaking rain and beware of ice.
