Lock Keeping by Volunteer Lock Keepers: S. E. Region Risk assesment

The request was successful.

Dear Canal & River Trust,

I refer to the S.E. Waterways document "Operation: Lock Keeping by Volunteer Lock Keepers: Issue No. 4" - https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/media/lib...

I note that this document does not identify as a 'hazard' the 'hanging up' (or cilling) of boats despite this being a fairly regular occurrence which, in the past, has been known to cause death.

Please provide via whadotheyknow.com -

1. All training documents provided to trainers or volunteer lock keepers for induction or 'on the job' training in S. E. Region.

2. Copies of risk assessments for other regions.

3. Training documents for other regions

Yours faithfully,

Allan Richards
