Alex said:Does this have similar implications for the CRO who use co-opted cavers, or are they on a different insurance scheme? In UWFRA, we don't really have a non-member volunteer list anymore.
During the fatal Curtain Pot rescue in June last year it was pointed out to those of us on the cavers list that we weren't insured. We all continued regardless. Before and since then CRO have been working hard to find a solution to the issue which they now seem to have done. However for some other rescue organisations to comply they will have to make far bigger changes to their structures I reckon.
