Safety
Since 1824 the RNLI has been dedicated to the safety of seafarers and the people who use the waters around these islands. It matters to every one of us that the coast is as safe as it can be, and everyone at the RNLI is committed to keeping it that way.
Supporting our safety commitment are thousands of dedicated volunteers and staff. And not forgetting you, our supporters. People are our most important asset at the RNLI and to sustain our lifesaving service, we need to support and care for them.
Safety takes courage
Our aim is to keep our people, property and environment safe by providing policies, practical tools and training. We want to make sure that all our volunteers, staff, visitors and contractors can go about their lifesaving activities safely.
Like lifesaving, safety takes courage. Keeping people safe is everyone’s responsibility. We encourage all volunteers and staff to speak up whenever they spot a safety concern, hazard, near-miss or incident. Reporting helps the RNLI learn from experience and improve how we protect one another – because we can only save more lives if we are safer all round.
If you’re visiting the RNLI – be it a lifeboat station, shop, museum or fundraising event – and you spot a safety concern, hazard, near-miss or incident, please report it to the relevant site manager or RNLI representative.
Or you can email us at [email protected] and help us to prevent accidents before they happen.
