Our Marine Safety Resources are not only trained in water rescue techniques but are also Emergency Medical Personnel with the equipment to render aid to individuals both in and out of the water. STARR has the ability to enable our Marine Resources to function behind the scenes of any production.  

WATER SAFETY RESOURCES:
STARR can provide experienced personnel and equipment as Marine Safety Resources for any water related event such as Iron Man, Super Series Power Boat Races, or Fishing Rodeo. Our members have years of experience working with swimming events and Boat Races to provide professionally trained water rescue personnel, rescue divers, and medical technicians to ensure the safety of all participants. 

We provide water resources such as kayaks, rescue jet skies and boats, to trained and certified rescue swimmers, rescue divers, and more. STARR strives to provide the highest quality of rescue personnel and equipment in order to ensure the safety of those within the water environment.

According to OSHA 1926.106 requires employers to have a boat available on standby to ensure a timely rescue of a fallen individual (worker). In fact, one OSHA letter of interpretation (LOI), the retrieval of an employee from the water is required no more than 3 to 4 minutes from the time they entered the water. 

           Section 1926.106(d) states: At least one lifesaving skiff shall be immediately available at locations where
                      where employees are working over or adjacent to water.

The intent of the regulation is to ensure prompt rescue of individuals (employees) that fall into the water, regardless of other precautions taken. OSHA is clear that regardless of how foolproof the fall protection system maybe, they are not a substitute for the skiff.
