Competence
Recognise that some participants over-estimate their skills and abilities to a large degree.
For example young men and swimming.
Recognise that participants will have a range of abilities to recognise any given hazard. Some will over-estimate while others will under-estimate and sometimes fail to recognise a hazard exists.
Where competence levels are judged to be inadequate the NWSF will encourage training to improve competence.
