All reasonable efforts will be made to protect the health and safety of the public including adequately informing visitors of any known or anticipated hazards or risks. CWS staff conducts annual site inspections to identify and address health and safety issues. Further, Environment and Climate Change Canada staff will take all reasonable and necessary precautions to assure their own health and safety and that of their co-workers. However, visitors (including researchers and contractors) must make all reasonable efforts to inform themselves of risks and hazards and must be prepared and self-sufficient. Natural areas are inherently dangerous and proper precautions must be taken by visitors, recognising that Environment and Climate Change Canada staff neither regularly patrol nor offer services for visitor safety in National Wildlife Areas.
Incidents or emergencies can be reported to the numbers listed in Table 7 below.
