Levels of cover

Match the cover to the risk

Every job starts with the same question: which level of cover do you need? We'll recommend the right one from your risk assessment.

Water safety – beach lifeguards on the bank or beach, with rescue boards for fast in-water response. For calm and open water.
Water rescue – Rescue 3 swiftwater rescue technicians with a powered rescue boat. For moving water, floods, harbours and work on or over water.
Rescue and medical – either level with an ECA, ambulance technician or paramedic from the same team. One contractor, one plan, one point of contact.

Frequently asked questions

Can't see your question? Call 01823 214134 or email info@apex-mr.co.uk.

Why use one provider for rescue and medical cover?

One contract, one rescue plan and one point of contact. Our rescuers and clinicians train and work together, so a casualty goes from the water to medical care without a handover between companies.

Do you write the rescue plan?

Yes. We write a site-specific water rescue plan and RAMS for the rescue provision. Planning can be quoted on its own if you need it before work is let.

Are your rescuers qualified?

Our water rescue team are Rescue 3 qualified swiftwater rescue technicians, and Apex is an approved Rescue 3 Europe Training Provider.

How is cover priced?

By crewing package at a day or half-day standby rate, plus mobilisation and travel. Contact us or call 01823 214134 for a quote.
