ODNR OFFERS FREE BOAT SAFETY INSPECTIONS ACROSS THE STATE
COLUMBUS, OH - Recreational boaters seeking to get their season off to a good start are encouraged to participate in free safety inspections offered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Watercraft and its boating partners across the state.
The safety inspections help increase safety awareness at a time when many Ohioans are launching their boats for the season. Watercraft officers provide written courtesy inspection reports that allow boat owners to make recommended improvements to their safety equipment.
Officers and other safety inspectors will look for properly working fire extinguishers, horns, navigational lights and distress signals, as well as life jackets and vests that are in good condition.
Information on required safety equipment, boating rules and other boating programs is available online.
