To reduce the number of recreational boating injuries and incidents, appropriate educational measures are important to improve boat operator safety practice. A tool (the boating safety scale (BSS)) to measure safe practice was developed and tested among Western Australian recreational boaters. The BSS allowed the identification of factors influencing safety behaviour among recreational boaters. Using a database of registered recreational vessels, a telephone survey was conducted in 2008 among a sample of 1002 boat owners and a response fraction of 47.5% was achieved. The majority of boaters displayed a moderate level of safe boating behaviour based on BSS scores. Not being a member of a boating association and going boating less often in protected waters was associated with a higher level of boating safety behaviour. With further development, the BSS can provide information to assist is designing effective intervention strategies to reduce the number of boating-related fatalities, injuries and incidents.
为了减少休闲划船事故和意外的发生，采取适当的教育措施对于提高船主的安全操作实践是非常重要的。我们开发了一种衡量安全操作实践的工具（划船安全量表 (BSS)），并在西澳大利亚州的休闲划船者中进行了测试。BSS 使我们能够识别影响休闲划船者安全行为的因素。利用已注册休闲船只的数据库，我们于 2008 年对 1002 名船主进行了电话调查，获得了 47.5%的回应率。根据 BSS 评分，大多数船主表现出中等程度的安全划船行为。不是划船协会成员，并且在受保护水域划船的频率较低与更高的划船安全行为相关。通过进一步开发，BSS 可以提供信息，以协助制定有效的干预策略，从而减少与划船相关的死亡、伤害和意外事故的发生。
