Safety Policies and Forms

 

Turtle Cove Safety Manual (PDF)–explains all policies and procedures related to boating safety and use of Turtle Cove facilities.

 

Monthly Checklist for Turtle Cove Boats–the Caretaker completes this checklist to ensure the legally required items are present and in working order (e.g., life jackets, lights, registration, flares, sounding devises, fire extinguishers, damage assessments, communication devices, trailers).

 

An Operator Boating Incident Report must be completed when an accident results in: loss of life or disappearance from a vessel, an injury which requires medical treatment beyond first aid, or property damage in excess of $500 or complete loss of the vessel. Reports in death and injury cases must be submitted within 48 hours. Reports in other cases must be submitted within 5 days. Reports must be submitted to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF).

 

The Turtle Cove Boating Safety Class is based on the Louisiana Water Vessel Program (PDF). The program is part of the Louisiana Loss Prevention program, and it provides a systematic method of screening, training, and accountability for employees and supervisors required to assign or operate state owned/leased/hired water vessels in the scope of their employment.

        In compliance with the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency
        Preparedness, a Debris Management Plan has been developed to facilitate the removal
        of debris in the event of any natural or man-made disaster.
