crew access to correct fitting sizes PLB if the craft is proceeding around a headland out of sight from the patrol tower Radio + aqua-bag (radio waterproof bag) 4.0 INTRODUCTION This alternate patrol method supports beach managers (Club Captains & Patrol Captains [PC]) by conserving lifeguard resources when they are not needed, ensuring that lifeguards can be used more effectively in the right places and at the correct times. The Observation Patrol can be used during regular patrolling hours if water user numbers are low, or to extend patrol hours, either during a rostered Flagged Patrol on a day or to extend a patrol season. Several factors must be considered when using an Observation Patrol, including the types and competence of the water users, the hazardousness of the beach and surf conditions, and the distribution of water users along the beach. 5.0 PROCEDURES 5.1 Minimum number of Lifeguards required: Two (The PC must be one of the two lifeguards). 5.2 Patrol Captains must continue to exercise a duty of care and plan resources based upon the need at any given time. All the rostered patrol members must be available to return to the beach if required within the times set out in the Club CSOP Minimum Patrol Times. 5.3 Radio contact must be maintained with at least two members in the rostered patrol or three if an IRB is present. 5.4 Patrol Captains must notify the Regional Manager or Duty Manager before initiating the Observation Patrol, if an Observation Patrol is required within the times a Base Patrol or Flagged Patrol is stipulated in Club CSOP Minimum Patrol Times. Failing to do so will result in a patrol breach. 5.5 Assessment of the types and competence of the water users: if a large proportion of water users are swimming, designating a patrolled area using red and yellow flags can be an effective way of managing their safety. If most water users are surfing or using recreational boats, then red and yellow flags may not be necessary. 5.6 Assess the hazardousness of the beach and surf conditions: where there are inshore holes, rip currents, and/or large waves, the best way to manage swimmer safety is to designate a patrolled area using red and yellow flags. If the conditions are less hazardous, an Observation Patrol may be appropriate. NSOP OBSERVATIONAL PATROL 9
5.7 Assess the distribution of water users along the beach: where water users are spread out, an Observation Patrol may enable you to provide services over a wider area, rather than focusing resources in one small area. However, designating a Base Patrol using red and yellow flags can help concentrate water users; this can also help limit swimmers’ interaction with other recreational activities, i.e., recreational boats. 5.8 Use the Observational Patrol when beach user numbers are consistently below (for at least 1 hour) those stated in Table 5.5.1 ‘Critical minimum public numbers threshold values’ for your beach type indicated in Table 5.5.2 ‘List of New Zealand beaches under four main beach types’. Please note, the threshold of water users will differ with wave height. E.g. Karioitahi Beach (Dissipative beach); 5:00 pm; 0.5-1.0m: The Observation Patrol method can only be used if there are less than 11 water users within an area 500m either side of the flags. 5.9 The threshold for your beach type must exist for at least 1 hour prior to changing over from a Base Patrol or Flagged Patrol to an Observational Patrol.
