Go Back to Newsfeed National Safe Boating Week: 1-7 October, 2022

National Safe Boating Week (NSBW) is a safety initiative of Australia New Zealand Safe Boating Education Group (ANZSBEG).


The aim of NSBW in 2022 is to highlight the importance of wearing the right type of Lifejacket and carrying out maintenance of inflatable Lifejackets to ensure reliable operation.


Whenever you are on the water everybody has a responsibility to ensure the safe operation of their boats and come home unharmed to their loved ones.


NSBW for 2022 focusses on the lifejacket:



  • Choosing the best type of Lifejacket for the chosen activity

  • How to don your lifejacket and keep it securely fitted to your body

  • How to inspect and maintain your inflatable Lifejacket

  • The importance of scheduled servicing of inflatable Lifejackets

  • Making Lifejacket wear ‘normal’ by wearing it everyday

  • ‘Wear your Lifejacket Day’


Wear your lifejacket, whatever you are doing on Friday 7 October 2021.


Post a picture of yourself wearing one to social media with the hashtags #safeboating and #wearittowork.
