Although rowing is a very safe sport, sometimes incidents occur.
British Rowing monitors safety incidents in rowing in order to reduce the possibility of them happening again. This is done through the incident reporting system.
The incident reporting system is confidential and available to everyone; clubs, individuals (members and non-members) and events to report an incident or concern.
Incidents that cause harm or damage, however trivial, should be reported as well as those where an injury, health issue or damage has occurred. Near misses should also be reported as these can provide useful information that may help someone to avoid a serious incident in the future and help to identify trends that can be addressed by British Rowing.
Reports should be made online within 24 hours of the incident.
You can report any boat damage within the member’s area here.
