Safety Policy

At OLTOA we take safety very seriously:

• Every course will have instructors certified in first aid and CPR
  
  
• Courses in remote locations will have instructors certified in Wilderness Advanced First Aid or Wilderness First Responders
  
  
• We will encourage stretching before and after strenuous activity
  
  
• Instructors are trained and certified at state and national levels and have passed on water and classroom tests to gain their certifications and licenses
  
  
• First Aid kits will be handy on every course and we will also carry other basic sport specific safety equipment
  
  
• A cellular phone and/or VHF radio will be carried on each course for emergency use only (In remote locations we may be away from communication)
  
  
• We have taken many steps to enhance your safety and offer you a safe and enjoyable learning experience. That being said, you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. If a certain situation arises and you are not comfortable being on the water or doing a specific task we ask that you tell us about it. We are a team of skilled and caring individuals who strive to help you enhance your boating and trip leading skills. We are human and can make mistakes and there are risks involved in all outdoor activities and by partaking in these activities you are accepting these risks
