Safety
We work very hard at TSB TOPEC to manage your safety during your time with us. We know this is a main consideration for many people booking an outdoor programme.
It is important to realise that the outdoors & activities carried out at TSB TOPEC contain risks that cannot be completely eliminated. To successfully remove all risks would compromisethe reasons why people go into the outdoors.
We include this information so that you are able to make an informed decision before you visit TSB TOPEC. We are not trying to scare or alarm, rather to fully inform & follow our philosophy of “challenge by choice”. Participation in all activities is by personal choice. We have a comprehensive Safety Management System to manage risks associated with all activities. These are available on request.
Other processes in place include a Crisis Action Plan - should any emergency arise. TSB TOPEC is audited annually by Maritime NZ to ensure that our Rafting operation meets National Industry requirements. This audit also looks at risk management, staff competency, staff training, accident reporting and equipment. All equipment and facilities are checked regularly and replaced as required.
