Respondent positions A position is what this recipient says about the concern when it does not describe a specific action.4
Position
Accident rates in Waterfall Country are broadly comparable with similar activities, and visitors are not at particularly higher likelihood of accidents.
Disputes the concernThe respondent disagreed with part of the concern or the basis for it.
Position
Terrain, absent power and communications infrastructure make improving mobile signal or installing reliable SOS telephone boxes extremely challenging or impossible.
Unable to actThe respondent said that a constraint prevented them from taking the relevant action.
Position
Responsibility for telecommunications infrastructure rests with national regulators and private network providers rather than NRW.
Redirects responsibilityThe respondent said that another organisation was responsible for deciding or taking action.
Position
Official paths are waymarked, risks off those paths are considered obvious, and existing signage and safety measures address accidental-falling risks.
Existing arrangements considered sufficientThe respondent said that existing arrangements were sufficient, so no further action was needed.
