Lightning - NSOP Section 2 – Health & Safety Management Version Number: 1.0 Effective Date: 1 October 2021 Review Date: 30 April 2023 Document Owner: <strong>National</strong> Lifesaving Manager 1.0 PURPOSE To outline procedures in the event of an electrical storm. Note - All notes are to be indented and italicised. 2.0 SCOPE All surf lifesaving operations and all activities related to SLSNZ and Clubs. 3.0 REQUIREMENTS Required PPE N/A Awards/Licenses N/A Training N/A Other N/A Equipment N/A 4.0 INTRODUCTION The 30/30 Rule is recommended for lightning safety in the New Zealand <strong>Standard</strong> on Lightning Protection. A flash-to-bang count of 30 seconds or less is a guide to the suspension of activity. Additionally, the following equation can help give an idea of how far away a storm is. Distance of storm (in km)=Time between flash of lightning & clap of thunder (in seconds) 3 (km) When the flash to bang count is 30 seconds, this indicates that the lightning is around 10km away. This is associated with significant risk that a lightning strike could be at the patrol area. There are two parts to the 30/30 rule: 1) If the flash-to-bang count is 30 seconds or less, follow the procedure below. 2) Wait 30-minutes after the electrical storm has passed to resume the activity.

5.0 PROCEDURES Closing a Patrolled area 5.1 If swimming, surfing, or on a vessel, leave the water immediately and seek shelter. 5.2 The Patrol Captain or person in charge (for non-lifesaving operations) should consider the 30/30 rule when deciding a course of action. 5.3 The Patrol Captain or person in charge (for non-lifesaving operations) should close the patrolled area or area they are providing supervision for. 5.4 The patrol should retire to the shelter of the clubrooms or a ‘hard top’ vehicle or building and maintain a surveillance lookout from there if practicable. Note - Small structures, patrol shelters, fabric tents and isolated small groups of trees should be avoided. 5.5 If in the open and unable to find shelter, crouch down (individually), preferably in a hollow, feet together and remove metal objects from head and body. Do not lie down but try to avoid being the highest object in the vicinity. 5.6 In the event of a competition carnival or special event, arrangements will be made by the organisers to delay the event until the danger has passed and to move all people to a safe location. Reopening a Patrolled Area 5.7 Where 30 minutes has passed since the last sighting of lightning, a typical storm travels at about 40km/h. Waiting 30 minutes allows the thunderstorm to be approximately 20km away. NSOP LIGHTNING NSOP_FINAL 57
