The Boat Safety Scheme (BSS)
|
|
The BSS was established in 1997 to promote safety on the inland waterways in respect of boats, their installations and components.
|
|
Meeting the BSS safety requirements is necessary in order to obtain a navigation licence on waterways controlled by those authorities that have adopted the Scheme.
|
|
The full list of BSS checks falls into two types:
|
|
* Essential safety or environmental requirements to keep everyone near to your boat safe
|
|
* Best safety practice recommendations to help keep you and your crew safe
|
|
Extensive consultation with the boating public, boater organisations and professional and trade bodies contributed to the current list of checks.
|
|
We are no longer offering boat safety certification but can offer work guaranteed to BSS standards and advise on boat safety matters.
