All incidents and near misses must be reported without delay – in any case within 24 hours – to the Club Rowing Safety Advisor, the Captain or Director of Rowing. This applies whether it’s a full-on crash, a simple capsize, getting washed down by a launch or just tripping over an object left on the floor of the gym. You should also report poor or dangerous navigation by others even if it didn’t result in an incident – this is part of the Thames Regional Rowing Council agreement with the Port of London Authority. This is important to ensure that we are able to improve our practice and learn lessons from incidents and near misses.

Please use the online incident report form, providing as much full and accurate detail as possible. The Safety Advisor will submit the final report to the British Rowing incident reporting system after reviewing it.
