🚤 What a busy couple of weeks it's been for the Medical & Water Safety Ltd team! 🚑

The last fortnight has seen our teams working across a huge variety of projects, highlighting the breadth of services we provide.

Our water safety crews have supported four separate events at Dorney Lake, including an incredible endurance challenge going all the way from Dorney to Brighton, as well as providing safety cover at the Bristol Triathlon.

Behind the scenes, we've also been carrying out pre-emptive engine servicing and maintenance on the boats supporting our full-time contracts, ensuring our fleet remains reliable and ready for deployment.

In London, our teams have been providing medical and health & safety cover for the construction of a spectacular Trojan Horse build, while elsewhere we've supported a number of skiff regattas, an athletics event, and continued delivering our regular immersive production and night-time economy projects.

A massive thank you to all of our dedicated staff whose professionalism, flexibility and commitment make it possible to deliver such a diverse range of work safely and effectively.

If you're looking for experienced providers of water safety, rescue cover, medical services or event safety management, we'd love to hear from you.

❄️ Cold Water Shock Can Affect Anyone ❄️

Even during summer, UK waters can be cold enough to cause an involuntary gasp reflex and rapid breathing.

Many people underestimate the effects of entering cold water unexpectedly.
Remember:

🧊 Don't panic
🧊 Float on your back
🧊 Control your breathing
🧊 Call for help if possible

Understanding cold water shock is one of the simplest ways to reduce the risk of drowning.
