The recreation sector is primarily composed of private companies operating to serve the recreational interests of their customers. These enterprises are often located in remote locations and cater to clients who may be travelling far from home. These unique circumstances necessitate thorough planning and practice in order to protect the safety and security of people, infrastructure, and the environment in the event of an emergency.
