Former Public Servant
Contracts awarded to former public servants (FPS) in receipt of a pension or of a lump sum payment
must bear the closest public scrutiny, and reflect fairness in the spending of public funds. In order to
comply with Treasury Board policies and directives on contracts awarded to FPSs, bidders must provide
the information required below before contract award. If the answer to the questions and, as applicable
the information required have not been received by the time the evaluation of bids is completed, Canada
will inform the Bidder of a time frame within which to provide the information. Failure to comply with
Canada’s request and meet the requirement within the prescribed time frame will render the bid nonresponsive.
Definitions
For the purposes of this clause,"former public servant" is any former member of a department as defined
in the Financial Administration Act, R.S., 1985, c. F-11, a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces
or a former member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. A former public servant may be:
a. an individual;
b. an individual who has incorporated;
c.
a partnership made of former public servants; or
d. a sole proprietorship or entity where the affected individual has a controlling or major interest in
the entity.
"lump sum payment period" means the period measured in weeks of salary, for which payment has been
made to facilitate the transition to retirement or to other employment as a result of the implementation of
various programs to reduce the size of the Public Service. The lump sum payment period does not
include the period of severance pay, which is measured in a like manner.
"pension" means a pension or annual allowance paid under the Public Service Superannuation Act
(PSSA), R.S., 1985, c. P-36, and any increases paid pursuant to the Supplementary Retirement Benefits
Act, R.S., 1985, c. S-24 as it affects the PSSA. It does not include pensions payable pursuant to the
Canadian Forces Superannuation Act, R.S., 1985, c. C-17, the Defence Services Pension Continuation
Act, 1970, c. D-3, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Pension Continuation Act , 1970, c. R-10, and the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act, R.S., 1985, c. R-11, the Members of Parliament
Retiring Allowances Act, R.S. 1985, c. M-5, and that portion of pension payable to the Canada Pension
Plan Act, R.S., 1985, c. C-8.
Former Public Servant in Receipt of a Pension
As per the above definitions, is the Bidder a FPS in receipt of a pension? Yes ( ) No ( )
If so, the Bidder must provide the following information, for all FPSs in receipt of a pension, as
applicable:
a. name of former public servant;
b. date of termination of employment or retirement from the Public Service.
By providing this information, Bidders agree that the successful Bidder’s status, with respect to being a
former public servant in receipt of a pension, will be reported on departmental websites as part of the
Page 3 of - de 12

hal220
W010X-15E143
HAL-4-73234
published proactive disclosure reports in accordance with Contracting Policy Notice: 2012-2 and the
Guidelines on the Proactive Disclosure of Contracts.
Work Force Adjustment Directive
Is the Bidder a FPS who received a lump sum payment pursuant to the terms of the Work Force
Adjustment Directive? Yes ( ) No ( )
If so, the Bidder must provide the following information:
a. name of former public servant;
b. conditions of the lump sum payment incentive;
c.
date of termination of employment;

g. number and amount (professional fees) of other contracts subject to the restrictions of a work
force adjustment program.
For all contracts awarded during the lump sum payment period, the total amount of fees that may be
paid to a FPS who received a lump sum payment is $5,000, including Applicable Taxes.
2.4
Enquiries - Bid Solicitation
All enquiries must be submitted in writing to the Contracting Authority no later than (5) calendar days
before the bid closing date. Enquiries received after that time may not be answered.
Bidders should reference as accurately as possible the numbered item of the bid solicitation to which the
enquiry relates. Care should be taken by bidders to explain each question in sufficient detail in order to
enable Canada to provide an accurate answer. Technical enquiries that are of a proprietary nature must
be clearly marked "proprietary" at each relevant item. Items identified as "proprietary" will be treated as
such except where Canada determines that the enquiry is not of a proprietary nature. Canada may edit
the question(s) or may request that the Bidder do so, so that the proprietary nature of the question(s) is
eliminated, and the enquiry can be answered to all bidders. Enquiries not submitted in a form that can be
distributed to all bidders may not be answered by Canada.
2.5
Applicable Laws
Any resulting contract must be interpreted and governed, and the relations between the parties
determined, by the laws in force in Nova Scotia.
Bidders may, at their discretion, substitute the applicable laws of a Canadian province or territory of their
choice without affecting the validity of their bid, by deleting the name of the Canadian province or territory
specified and inserting the name of the Canadian province or territory of their choice. If no change is
made, it acknowledges that the applicable laws specified are acceptable to the bidders.

GUIDE DE CONFORMITÉ POUR LES BÂTIMENTS À PROPULSION
HUMAINE AUTRES QUE LES EMBARCATIONS DE PLAISANCE
TP 15204F
1 de 14
APPLICATION
Les présentes lignes directrices s’appliquent à l’égard des bâtiments à propulsion humaine autres que les
embarcations de plaisance
« À propulsion humaine » signifie que le bâtiment n’est pas propulsé par un moteur et n’est pas équipé
d’un moteur ou a à bord un moteur pour le propulser.
Il n’est pas exigé d’avoir à bord d’un canot de course, d’un kayak de course et d’une yole qui participent à
une course officielle, une compétition ou une régate sanctionnée pour lesquelles des lignes directrices et
des procédures de sécurité sont établies par l’organisme dirigeant, l’équipement de sécurité exigé par le
Règlement sur les petits bâtiments et stipulé dans les présentes lignes directrices si le bâtiment est
accompagné d’un véhicule de secours ayant à bord un vêtement de flottaison individuel ou un gilet de
sauvetage de la bonne taille pour chaque personne à bord.
x Voir les articles 312 à 314 et 518 du Règlement sur les petits bâtiments
x
pour de plus amples détails sur les bâtiments de course.
« Excursion guidée » signifie une activité ou une excursion récréative non compétitive tenue à l’extérieur
et dirigée par une personne responsable (guide) au cours de laquelle les participants utilisent des
bâtiments à propulsion humaine. Le bâtiment à propulsion humaine conduit par le guide est une
embarcation autre que de plaisance (bâtiment utilisé à des fins commerciales) alors que le bâtiment du
participant est en embarcation de plaisance (bâtiment utilisé à des fins récréatives). Les présentes lignes
directrices n’abordent pas les exigences visant les embarcations de plaisance à propulsion humaine.
x Voir l’article 300 du Règlement sur les petits bâtiments pour de plus amples détails sur les
excursions guidées.
x Voir la Partie 2 (Équipement de sécurité pour les embarcations de plaisance) du Règlement sur les
petits bâtiments pour de plus amples détails sur les exigences visant l’équipement de sécurité pour
les embarcations de plaisance.
Remarque : Certaines exigences réglementaires s’appliquent de façon rétroactive à l’ensemble des
bâtiments, alors que d’autres pourraient n’être applicables qu’aux bâtiments construits après une certaine
date. La version actuelle du règlement applicable devrait être consultée pour déterminer l’application
d’une exigence donnée à votre bâtiment.
INTRODUCTION
Le présent document a pour objet de fournir une référence organisée et pratique sur les diverses exigences
et normes réglementaires du Canada qui visent les bâtiments à propulsion humaine autres que les
embarcations de plaisance, et de renforcer la sécurité et la protection des personnes à bord de ces types de
bâtiments au Canada.
Le représentant autorisé, le propriétaire, l’exploitant, le concepteur et le fabricant d’un bâtiment à
propulsion humaine autre qu’une embarcation de plaisance doivent toujours consulter la version la plus
récente de la Loi de 2001 sur la marine marchande du Canada (LMMC 2001) et des règlements, car les
présentes lignes directrices n’ont pas préséance sur la réglementation et n’intègrent pas nécessairement les
modifications les plus récentes apportées aux divers règlements. Les lois et les règlements canadiens
prévalent en cas de conflit avec les présentes lignes directrices.
Le lecteur peut communiquer avec le Centre de Transports Canada local pour obtenir des éclaircissements
sur l’application ou l’interprétation des normes et règlements dont il est question dans les présentes lignes
directrices.
TP 15204F
2 de 14
Les personnes ayant besoin de conseils techniques devraient communiquer avec un expert-conseil
maritime dont l’expertise englobe les bâtiments à propulsion humaine autres que les embarcations de
plaisance et le régime de réglementation canadien.

1 PROCÉDURES DE SÉCURITÉ
QUESTION 1.1
L'objet de l’exposé en matière de sécurité donné avant le départ est d'avertir les passagers quant
aux dangers et de leur indiquer les procédures à suivre en cas d'urgence. Votre exposé doit
inclure des procédures au cas où la personne qui opère le bâtiment n’est plus capable
d’accomplir ses responsabilités en cas d’urgence.
L'exposé doit être donné en anglais, en français, ou les deux, et doit inclure
x une démonstration de la manière correcte de porter chaque type de gilet de sauvetage ou
vêtement de flottaison individuel (VFI);
x l'emplacement de la trousse de premiers soins;
x l'emplacement des lampes de poche et des fusées;
x l'emplacement des sifflets/avertisseurs pneumatiques;
x l'utilisation des sacs de lancement/ligne d'attrape flottante
x une explication des conséquences d'une mauvaise répartition des passagers sur la stabilité
du bâtiment
x une explication des moyens de communication avec les autorités compétentes en cas
d'urgence.
QUESTION 1.2
En cas d'urgence, les services de secours doivent connaître la destination de votre bâtiment,
l'heure de retour prévue ainsi que le nombre de personnes à bord ou avec le groupe, dans le cas
d’une excursion guidée.
Avant le départ, vous devez communiquer le nombre de personnes à bord, ou dans le groupe, à
une personne à terre que vous avez désignée à titre de responsable des communications avec les
services de recherche et de sauvetage en cas d’urgence.
Si le bâtiment est utilisé dans une région éloignée et qu’il n’est pas possible de communiquer le
nombre de personnes à bord, ou dans le groupe, à une personne à terre, vous devez laisser la
mention de ce renseignement et de la zone d’utilisation à un endroit connu à terre qui est
accessible aux services de recherche et de sauvetage (par exemple, sur le quai de départ ou dans
votre véhicule).
TP 15204F
8 de 14
QUESTION 1.3
Quand la température de l'eau est inférieure à 15 degrés Celsius, vous devez élaborer des
procédures pour protéger tous les participants contre les effets de l'hypothermie et du choc dû au
froid. Pour votre propre protection tant pratique que juridique, vous devez établir et rédiger des
procédures appropriées basées sur les conditions locales ou les meilleures pratiques de l'industrie
en vigueur pour répondre à cette exigence.
Quelques exemples de procédures qui peuvent être appropriées:
x Avoir à bord des couvertures supplémentaires
x Avoir à bord des vêtements supplémentaires
x Avoir à bord du matériel thermique
x Porter des gilets de sauvetage ou VFI qui offrent une protection thermique
x Voyager avec d’autres bateaux
Soyez au courant des effets du choc dû au froid et de l’hypothermie – pour en savoir davantage,
visitez le http://www.coldwaterbootcamp.com/french/ et lire le TP 13822, La survie en eaux
froides, disponible au http://www.tc.gc.ca/fra/securitemaritime/tp-tp13822-menu-610.htm.
QUESTION 1.4
Les urgences surviennent alors qu’on s’y attend le moins. En tant que propriétaire ou exploitant
d’un bâtiment à propulsion humaine, vous êtes responsable de cerner les situations d’urgence et
d’élaborer des procédures pour intervenir face à ces scénarios. S’entraîner à réagir à un grand
nombre de situations d’urgence permet aux membres d’équipage de réagir rapidement et
correctement à toute situation. Envisagez les scénarios applicables à votre secteur d’exploitation.
2 MATÉRIEL DE NAVIGATION
QUESTION 2.1
Tous les bâtiments doivent être munis d’un dispositif de signalisation sonore. Il
peut s’agir d’un sifflet sans bille, d’une corne à air comprimé manuelle ou d’une
corne électrique.
QUESTION 2.2
Au minimum, chaque bâtiment doit être prêt à montrer immédiatement pour prévenir un
abordage, une lampe électrique (lampe de poche) ou un fanal allumé à feu blanc.
QUESTION 2.3
Le compas devra pouvoir être ajusté et compensé pour la déviation et éclairé
pour permettre la vision de nuit. Il n’est pas exigé d’avoir de compas
magnétique à bord d’un bâtiment d’au plus 8 m de longueur qui navigue en vue
d’amers. Toutefois, même si vous naviguez en vue d’amers, étant donné la
possibilité de visibilité réduite (par exemple, en conséquence du brouillard),
TP 15204F
9 de 14
avoir un compas à bord est recommandé.
3 STABILITÉ ET RÉSISTANCE STRUCTURALE
QUESTION 3.1
Le représentant autorisé, le propriétaire et l’exploitant d’un bâtiment à propulsion humaine doivent
s’assurer que la résistance structurale et l’étanchéité à l’eau du bâtiment continuent à être appropriées
pour l’utilisation prévue.
Votre bâtiment doit satisfaire aux exigences des normes de construction (TP 1332, section 3), ou si la
conception de votre bâtiment a été utilisée pendant au moins cinq ans sans accident maritime ou un défaut
de construction, dans une zone où le vent et les conditions environnementales (vent et vagues) ne sont pas
moins sévères que celles que l’on peut rencontrer dans la zone d’exploitation prévue pour le bâtiment, la
résistance de votre bâtiment est considérée suffisante.
QUESTION 3.2
La stabilité s’entend par la caractéristique qui empêche un bâtiment de chavirer. En vertu du
Règlement sur les petits bâtiments, le propriétaire et l’exploitant d’un bâtiment à propulsion
humaine autre qu’une embarcation de plaisance (bâtiment utilisé à des fins commerciales)
doivent veiller à ce que la stabilité de celui-ci soit suffisante pour que son utilisation prévue soit
sécuritaire. (RPB 601(2)).
Les normes appropriées pour démontrer la stabilité d’un bâtiment motorisé figurent dans la
TP 1332 (chapitre 4 pour les bâtiments d’au plus 6 mètres et chapitre 5 pour les bâtiments de
plus de 6 mètres). La TP 1332 peut être consultée à l’adresse suivante :
http://www.tc.gc.ca/fra/securitemaritime/tp-tp1332-menu-521.htm. Bien que ces normes soient
prescrites pour les bâtiments motorisés, elles peuvent également être utilisées pour les bâtiments
à propulsion humaine. Comme l’établissement de calculs de stabilité suffisante à l’aide de ces
normes est plutôt complexe, il est recommandé que vous communiquiez avec un expert-conseil
maritime pour évaluer si la stabilité de votre bâtiment est suffisante pour son utilisation prévue.
En ce qui concerne les bâtiments à propulsion humaine typiques, comme les canots et les kayaks,
d’autres normes convenables, comme l’American Boat Yacht Council (ABYC) H-29, peuvent
également rendre votre bâtiment conforme. Afin de vérifier si votre canot est conforme en vertu
de cette norme, il doit être chargé au point où son franc-bord (la distance entre la partie la plus
basse du plat-bord et l’eau) atteint au moins 178 millimètres. Le poids exigé pour obtenir ce
franc-bord minimal est la capacité de charge maximale du bâtiment. Dans le cas d’un kayak,
celui-ci doit être chargé au point où son franc-bord (la distance entre le haut de l’ouverture où la
personne est assise et l’eau) atteint au moins 127 millimètres. Le poids exigé pour obtenir ce
franc-bord minimal est la capacité de charge maximale du bâtiment.
Parce qu’il est plus difficile pour les petits bâtiments d’avoir un niveau de stabilité qui leur évite
de chavirer, la sensibilisation de l’exploitant à cet égard est particulièrement importante.
L’exigence principale est que les bâtiments restent à flot quand ils sont inondés et disposent d’un
équipement auquel on peut s’accrocher. Pour ce faire, un matériel de flottaison est mis en place
par le fabricant.
Veuillez prendre note que la capacité maximale que vous obtiendrez dans le cadre de cet essai
comprend le poids de l’ensemble des personnes, des marchandises et de l’équipement transportés
TP 15204F
10 de 14
par le bâtiment. Le fabricant du bâtiment pourrait également être en mesure de vous transmettre
ces renseignements.
4 MATÉRIEL DE SÉCURITÉ
QUESTION 4.1
Vous êtes exigés d’avoir à bord un gilet de sauvetage ou un VFI de la bonne taille pour chaque
personne à bord et de vous assurez que chaque personne à bord porte un gilet de sauvetage ou un

QUESTION 4.2
Les VFI et les gilets de sauvetage d’un matériel insubmersible n’ont pas besoin d’action afin
d’activer leur capacité de flottaison. Ils sont souvent fabriqués d’un mousse unicellulaire ou
d’éléments macro-cellulaires. Ceci représente une différence avec les VFI et gilets de sauvetage
gonflables, où la flottaison est activé par tirer sur la tirette, par souffler dans un tube ou par
l’immersion dans l’eau.

QUESTION 4.3
Exploiter un bâtiment dans des eaux de classe 3 ou plus augmente la probabilité de chutes pardessus bord. Pour ces voyages, chaque personne doit porter un casque protecteur de la bonne
taille. Porter un casque protecteur sauve des vies et protège contre les blessures graves à la tête.
« Eaux de classe 3 ou plus » (tel que défini à la section 300 du Règlement sur les petits
bâtiments) – eaux comportant, selon le cas :
a) des rapides avec des vagues irrégulières et modérées;
b) des rapides qui sont plus puissants, dans lesquels se trouvent plus d’obstacles ou qui
sont par ailleurs plus difficiles à naviguer que des rapides avec des vagues irrégulières et
modérées.
« Casque protecteur » (tel que défini à la section 300 du Règlement sur les petits bâtiments) –
casque qui est muni d’un système d’attache et qui est conçu pour protéger la personne qui le
TP 15204F
12 de 14
porte contre les blessures à la partie de la tête qui est comprise entre la ligne du milieu du front et
l’arrière du sommet de la tête.
QUESTION 4.4
Une ligne d’attrape flottante est lancée vers une personne dans l’eau pour
qu’elle puisse la tenir pendant que vous la traînez le long du bâtiment. Le sac
de lancement protège la ligne des nœuds et la rend plus facile à lancer.
Un exemple d’une ligne d’attrape flottante est une ligne flottante de
polypropylène de 15 m x 7 mm avec un sac fabriqué de nylon et polyester
qui peut se vider de l’eau et qui est muni de ruban adhésif réfléchissant.
QUESTION 4.5
Vous devez vous assurer que les batteries de votre lampe de poche étanche
sont complètement chargées avant chaque trajet. C’est une bonne idée de
vérifier la lampe de poche régulièrement et d’avoir des batteries de rechange
disponibles.
Mise à part son utilisation comme éclairage d’urgence, votre lampe de poche
étanche peut être votre seul moyen pour demander de l’aide.
QUESTIONS 4.6 ET 4.7
Quand vous achetez des fusées éclairantes de détresse pour usage en mer,
vous devez vérifier qu’elles portent bien le tampon ou l’étiquette
Transports Canada. Il y a quatre types de fusées éclairantes : A, B, C et D.
x
Type A : fusée à parachute
x
Type B : fusées à étoiles multiples
x
Type C : feux à main
x
Type D : signaux fumigènes (flottant ou manuel).
Vos fusées éclairantes doivent être de type A, B ou C.
N’oubliez pas que les fusées éclairantes ne sont fiables que pendant quatre ans à partir de leur
date de fabrication (pas leur date d’achat), qui figure sur chaque fusée éclairante. Vous devez
aussi vous informer auprès du fabricant de la manière de disposer des fusées éclairantes arrivées
à expiration.
Les fusées éclairantes doivent être faciles d’accès et entreposées à la verticale dans un endroit
sec et frais (par exemple un conteneur étanche) afin de demeurer en bon état de fonctionner.
TP 15204F

Dans tous les cas, les articles doivent être placés dans un contenant étanche à l’eau.
OU
2) d’une trousse de premiers soins conforme aux exigences du Règlement sur la
santé et la sécurité au travail en milieu maritime ou de la réglementation
provinciale sur l'indemnisation des accidentés de travail, ainsi qu'un masque de
réanimation et deux paires de gants d'examens si la trousse n'en contient pas.
QUESTION 4.9
Les écopes doivent contenir au moins 750 ml (un peut plus
que 1½ pinte), posséder une ouverture d'au moins 65 cm2 (10
po2) et être en plastique ou en métal.
Si vous possédez une pompe de cale manuelle, la pompe et le
tuyau doivent être suffisamment longs pour qu'il soit possible
d'atteindre le fond de l’embarcation et de vider l'eau par-dessus bord.
TP 15204F
14 de 14
QUESTION 4.10
Si le franc-bord dépasse 0,5 m (1’8”) vous aurez besoin d'un dispositif de remontée à bord.
Le franc-bord est la hauteur verticale qu’une personne doit monter afin de remonter à bord à
partir de l’eau.
Un « dispositif de remontée à bord » (tel que défini à l’article 1 du Règlement sur les petits
bâtiments) est une échelle, un harnais de levage ou autre dispositif, à l’exclusion de toute partie
de l’unité de propulsion du bâtiment, qui aide les personnes à remonter à bord à partir de l’eau.
Si votre bâtiment possède des échelles d'imposte de tableau ou des plateformes de bain avec
échelle, il répond déjà à cette exigence.

COMPLIANCE GUIDE FOR HUMAN-POWERED
NON-PLEASURE VESSELS
TP 15204E
1 of 13
APPLICATION
These Guidelines apply in respect of a human-powered vessel other than a pleasure craft.
“Human-powered” means that the vessel is not propelled by an engine and is not fitted with an engine
onboard to propel it.
Racing canoes, racing kayaks and rowing shells engaged in official racing, competition activities or
sanctioned regattas that are governed by safety guidelines and procedures established by the governing
body are not required to carry onboard the safety equipment required by the Small Vessel Regulations and
outlined in this Guideline if the vessel is attended by a safety craft that is carrying onboard a personal
flotation device or lifejacket of an appropriate size for all persons.
x See sections 312-314 and 518 of the Small Vessel Regulations for details on racing vessels.
“Guided excursion” means a non-competitive outdoor recreational activity or excursion led by a person in
charge of the activity or excursion (Guide) during which the participants use a human-powered vessel. The
human-powered vessel operated by the guide is a non-pleasure (commercial) vessel while the participant’s
vessel is a pleasure (recreational) craft. The requirements for human-powered pleasure craft are not
covered in this Guideline.
x See section 300 of the Small Vessel Regulations for details on guided excursions.
x See Part 2 (Safety Equipment for Pleasure Craft) of the Small Vessel Regulations for the safety
equipment requirements for pleasure craft.
Note: Some regulatory requirements apply retroactively to all vessels, while others may only be applicable
to vessels constructed after a certain date. The current version of the applicable Regulation should be
consulted to determine the application of a particular requirement to your vessel.
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to provide a convenient and organized reference document to the various
regulatory requirements and standards in Canada that apply to human-powered non-pleasure vessels and to
support the safety and protection of persons working onboard these types of vessels in Canada.
The authorized representative, owner, operator, designer and builder of a human-powered non-pleasure
vessel must always refer to the most recent version of the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 (CSA 2001) and
Regulations, as these Guidelines do not replace the legal requirements and may not capture recent changes
made to the various Regulations. Canadian statutes and Regulations prevail in the case of conflict with
these Guidelines.
When applying the Regulations and Standards referred to in these guidelines, the local Transport Canada
Centre may be contacted for clarification on application or interpretation.
If technical advice is required a marine consultant with expertise regarding human-powered non-pleasure
vessels and the Canadian regulatory regime should be contacted.

1 SAFETY PROCEDURES
QUESTION 1.1
The intent of the pre-departure briefing is to alert passengers of hazards and to advise them of
procedures to follow in the event of an emergency. Your briefing should include procedures to
follow in case the person operating the vessel is not able to carry out their normal duties during an
emergency.
The briefing may be in English, French or both languages and must include:
x A demonstration showing the correct method of wearing each type of lifejacket or personal
flotation device (PFD);
x The location of the first aid kit;
x The location of flashlights and flares;
x The location of whistles/air horns;
x The use of throw bags/buoyant heaving lines;
x An explanation of the consequences of improper passenger distribution on the stability of
the vessel; and
x An explanation of how to contact the proper authorities in case of emergency.
QUESTION 1.2
In the event of an emergency, rescue services need to know where your vessel has sailed, when
you are expected to return and how many persons are onboard or with the group in the case of a
guided excursion.
Before leaving shore, you must leave a record of the number of persons onboard, or in the group,
with a person onshore that has been designated responsible for communicating with search and
rescue authorities in the event of an emergency.
If you are operating in a remote area and it is not possible to leave this information with a person
onshore, then a record of the number of persons onboard, with the group, and the area of operation
should be left onshore in a known or easily found location (for example, on the departure dock or
in your vehicle).
TP 15204E
7 of 13
QUESTION 1.3
Where the water temperature is less than 15 degrees Celsius, you must develop procedures to
protect all participants against the effects of hypothermia and cold-water shock. For your own
practical and legal protection, you must establish and document suitable procedures, based on local
conditions or established industry best practices to fulfill this requirement.
Some examples of procedures that might be suitable:
x Carrying extra blankets
x Carrying extra clothing
x Carrying thermal equipment
x Wearing lifejackets or PFDs with thermal protection
x Travelling with other vessels

QUESTION 1.4
Emergencies happen when least expected. As an owner or operator of a human-powered vessel
you are responsible for identifying any emergency situations and developing procedures to address
these scenarios. Practising responses to a variety of emergency situations will enable
crewmembers to react quickly and properly to any situation. Consider scenarios applicable to your
area of operation.
2 NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT
QUESTION 2.1
All boats must carry a sound-signalling device. This can be a pea-less whistle, a handheld compressed gas horn or an electric horn.
QUESTION 2.2
At a minimum, each vessel shall have ready at hand an electric torch (flashlight) or lighted lantern
showing a white light which must be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision.
QUESTION 2.3
The compass should be able to be adjusted and corrected. It should be capable of being
illuminated for night viewing. You are not required to carry a magnetic compass if your
vessel is not more than 8m in length and you navigate only within sight of seamarks.
However, even if you are operating in areas within sight of seamarks, given the
possibility of restricted visibility (for example, as a result of fog), carrying a compass is
recommended.

3 STRUCTURAL STRENGTH AND STABILITY
QUESTION 3.1
The authorized representative, owner and operator of a human-powered vessel shall ensure that the
structural strength and watertight integrity of the vessel continue to be adequate for its intended
use.
Your vessel must meet the requirements of the construction standards (TP 1332, section 3); or if
your vessel’s design has been operated for at least five years, without a marine accident or a
deficiency in its construction, in an area where the environmental conditions (wind and waves) are
no less severe than those likely to be encountered in the vessel’s intended area of operation, your
vessel’s strength is considered adequate.
QUESTION 3.2
Stability is the characteristic of a vessel that helps it stay upright. The Small Vessel Regulations
require the owner and operator of a non-pleasure (commercial) human-powered vessel to ensure
that the vessel has adequate stability to safely carry out its intended operations (SVR 601(2)).
Suitable standards for demonstrating a powered vessel’s stability are contained within TP 1332,
chapter 4, for vessels of not more than 6 metres and in chapter 5 for vessels of more than 6 metres
(TP 1332 is available at http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/tp-menu-515.htm). Although these are
prescribed for powered vessels, they are also technically suitable for human-powered vessels. The
determination of adequate stability calculations using this standard is rather complex and it is
recommended that you contact a Marine Consultant to determine if your vessel has adequate
stability for its intended purpose.
For typical human-powered vessels such as canoes and kayaks, other suitable standards such as the
American Boat Yacht Council (ABYC) H-29 would also bring your vessel into compliance. In
accordance with this standard, a canoe is to be loaded to the point where the vessel’s freeboard
(distance from the lowest part of the gunwale to the water) reaches a minimum 178 millimetres.
The weight required to obtain this minimum freeboard is the vessel’s maximum loading capacity.
A kayak is to be loaded to the point where its freeboard (distance from the top of the person
opening to the water) reaches a minimum of 127 millimetres. The weight required to obtain this
minimum freeboard is the vessel’s maximum loading capacity.
For smaller vessels it is more difficult to have a level of stability that will prevent capsizing;
accordingly operator awareness is of particular importance. The primary requirement is for the
vessels to remain afloat when swamped and to provide something to hang on to. The ability of the
vessels to remain afloat when swamped is provided by flotation material fitted by the
manufacturer.

Please be advised that the maximum capacity you obtain from this test includes the weight of all
persons, cargo and equipment carried by the vessel. You may also be able to obtain this
information by contacting the vessel’s manufacturer.
4 SAFETY EQUIPMENT
QUESTION 4.1
You are required to carry onboard a lifejacket or PFD of an appropriate size for each person
onboard and to make sure that everyone onboard wears a lifejacket or PFD of an appropriate size.
The chart below outlines the different types of lifejackets and PFDs.

QUESTION 4.2
Inherently buoyant PFDs or lifejackets do not require any action to activate flotation; they are
often made from unicellular foam or macro-cellular elements. This differs from inflatable PFDs
and lifejackets, where you have to pull on a tab, blow in a tube or be submerged in water to
activate the inflation.
Examples of inherently buoyant lifejackets:

QUESTION 4.3
Operating a vessel in class 3 or above waters increases the likelihood of a person being thrown
overboard. On these voyages, each person must wear an appropriately sized helmet. Wearing a
helmet saves lives and protects persons from serious head injuries.
“Class 3 or above waters” (defined in section 300 of the Small Vessel Regulations) means waters
that have
(a) rapids with moderate and irregular waves; or
(b) rapids that are stronger, have more obstructions or are otherwise more difficult to
navigate than rapids with moderate and irregular waves.
TP 15204E
11 of 13
“Helmet” (defined in section 300 of the Small Vessel Regulations) means a helmet that has a
fastening system and that is designed to protect a person’s head from injury from the mid-line of
the forehead to the back of the crown of the head.
QUESTION 4.4
A buoyant heaving line is thrown toward a person in the water for them to hold onto
while you pull them alongside your boat. The throw bag keeps it from getting knotted
and makes it easier to throw.
An example of a buoyant heaving line is a 15m x 7mm polypropylene floating rope
with a bright orange nylon and polyester self-draining bag with reflective safety tape.
QUESTION 4.5
You must be sure that the batteries in your watertight flashlight are still fully charged
before every trip. It is a good idea to check the flashlight regularly and to keep spare
batteries on hand.
Apart from its use as emergency lighting, your watertight flashlight may be needed to
signal for help.
QUESTIONS 4.6 AND 4.7
When buying marine distress flares, you should look for a Transport Canada
approval stamp or label. There are four types of flares: A, B, C and D.
x
Type A: Rocket Parachute Flare,
x
Type B: Multi-Star Flare,
x
Type C: Hand-Held Flare,
x
Type D: Smoke Signal (Buoyant or Hand-Held)
Your flares must be of type A, B or C.
Remember that flares are only good for four years from the date of manufacture (not the date of
purchase), which is stamped on every flare. You should also ask the manufacturer how to dispose
of your expired flares.
Flares should be kept within reach and stored vertically in a cool, dry location (such as a watertight
container) to keep them in good working condition.

QUESTION 4.8
You must have a first aid kit onboard your vessel. This first aid kit must be packed in a waterproof
case capable of being tightly closed after use and must be either
1) A marine emergency first aid kit that contains the following:
□ An up-to-date first aid manual or up-to-date first
aid instructions, in English and French
□ 20 adhesive plasters in
assorted sizes
□ 48 doses of analgesic medication of a nonnarcotic type
□ 10 sterile compression
bandages in assorted sizes
□ Six safety pins or one roll of adhesive first aid tape
□ 4 m of elastic bandage
□ One pair of bandage scissors or safety scissors
□ Two sterile gauze compresses
□ One resuscitation face shield
□ Two triangular bandages
□ Two pairs of examination gloves
□ A waterproof list of the
contents, in English and
French
□ 10 applications of antiseptic preparations
□ 12 applications of burn preparations
NOTE: You may meet this requirement either by buying a kit that contains all of the above
items or you may purchase the above items separately. In either situation, the items must be
stored in a waterproof case.
OR
2) A first aid kit that meets the requirements of the Maritime Occupational Health and Safety
Regulations or of provincial regulations governing workers’ compensation, with the
addition of a resuscitation face shield and two pairs of examination gloves if the kit does not
already contain them.
QUESTION 4.9
Bailers must hold at least 750 ml (just over 1½ pints), have an opening of
at least 65 cm2 (10 in2) and be made of plastic or metal.
If you have a manual bilge pump, the pump and hose must be long enough
to reach the bilge space and pump the water over the side of the boat.
TP 15204E
13 of 13
QUESTION 4.10
When the freeboard exceeds 0.5 m (1’8”) you will need a reboarding device.
Freeboard is the vertical height a person must climb to reboard the boat from the water.
A “reboarding device” (defined in section 1 of the Small Vessel Regulations) means a ladder,
lifting harness or other device that does not include any part of the vessel’s propulsion unit and
that assists a person to gain access to the vessel from the water.
If your vessel has transom ladders or swim platform ladders it already meets this requirement.
