INCIDENT REPORTING
The Club is committed to learning from the incidents it becomes aware of and will share this information to help others in the sport to learn too. We are committed to make appropriate use of British Rowing’s Incident Reporting System.
All incidents must be reported to the Club Rowing Safety Adviser (CRSA) or the Club Captains as soon as possible and the report completed within 24 hours. 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, within the Club or outside even if it didn’t result in an incident. This is important to ensure that we are able to improve our practice and learn lessons from incidents and near misses.
You can report all incidents by downloading and filling in the incident report form. Include as much detail as you can and explain what happened clearly and factually. If possible, include boat ID numbers or names of the offending non-TwRC boat. No TwRC member should report directly through the British Rowing Incident Reporting System. Reports are only to be made to the Safety Advisor, the Captain or the Director of Rowing, one of whom will ensure that the relevant details have been gathered, before reporting the incident to British Rowing.
