Emergency Response Plan

Fremantle Sailing Club's Emergency Response Plan (ERP) provides a systematic approach to responding to an incident occurring during an event conducted by the Club.

Emergency Response

FSC is not equipped to provide extensive emergency response.

WA Water Police will coordinate emergency response for boats requiring external medical assistance when there is grave or imminent danger to the safety of boat or crew.

Pre-Event Preparation by the Skipper and Crew

Ensure that all required safety equipment is on board and in good working condition. Have sufficient crew, appropriately experienced, able to cope with the conditions likely to be experienced. Brief the crew on emergency response in the case of an incident including locations of safety equipment, their emergency roles and procedures to be followed. Ensure the crew is familiar with the boat’s Man Overboard (MOB) procedures.

Notification of Incident

When a boat needs emergency assistance, it should use the standard marine emergency call procedures 000 or 112
