Cold shoulder for Hot Liquid
The RYA has removed its recognition of Hot Liquid Southampton
RECOGNITION: After three serious safety related incidents, the RYA has removed its recognition of Hot Liquid Southampton as a provider of RYA training courses, leaving the company unable to offer or run RYA courses.
The RYA decision was made following three serious safety related incidents involving Hot Liquid Southampton between January 2011 and January 2012.
“The removal of RYA recognition from a training centre is never a decision that is taken lightly,” said RYA training manager and chief examiner Richard Falk. “However, it is essential that customers are confident appropriate safety management routines are in place at any centre displaying the RYA Recognised Training Centre logo.”
The RYA advises that any customers booked on an RYA course at Hot Liquid Southampton should contact the school directly to discuss their situation. If a customer has a further query they can contact the RYA at 02380 604100.
Hot Liquid Gibraltar, which has operational safety management routines controlled separately to those of the Southampton site, will retain RYA recognition for all disciplines currently on offer.
Hot Liquid Southampton was not available for comment.
