The Provision of Safety in Water Areas: Legal Issues

Mirosław Karpiuk

Abstract


Threats in water areas have forced the legislator to address the issues related to the safety of people staying in these areas, who are required to exercise due diligence in order to protect the life and health of themselves and others. Due diligence is a fundamental factor in providing security. Along with diligence, to perform water rescue it was appropriate to conduct an analysis of threats, including an identification of the places where the safety of people using water areas for swimming, bathing, practising water sports, and recreation, could be endangered. The analysis was conducted by entities who are professionals in the field of water security, i.e. the Police and the bodies authorised to perform water rescue.
