Incident Reporting
All recordable and reportable incidents must be submitted through the British Rowing website. You do not need to logon with your British Rowing username and password before being able to submit a report. It helps if you do log on as we are then able to investigate the incident further if required.
You will be able to print a copy of the report for your own information.
The Regional Water Safety Advisor has access to all reports and will be able to comment or ask for more information before the incident is closed.
If the incident occurs on the Tideway and more than £500 of damage is done, then a report will be fowarded by the RWSA to the PLA. The PLA may ask for additional information before the incident is closed.
Reports should ideally be submitted within twenty four hours of the incident. Ideally handwritten notes should be made immediatley and kept for refrerence when submitting the report. These notes might be required for legal purposes if an insurance claim is made.
Reporting good or bad navigation on the Tideway
If you see any good or bad navgation please use the ARA incident web site.
We are intested in all cases of good or bad navigation, even if quite minor. The PLA expect all rowers to obey the "Rowing on the Tideway" code of practice. If we fail to follow the code of practice, the PLA have the right to take away the privileges' we currently enjoy, which make rowing on the Tideway a pleasure.
If you are having any problems sending in a navigation report, please send an email to;
reports(at)thames-rrc.org (@ symbol replaced to prevent spam)
or
safety(at)thames-rrc.org
If you do send an email, you may be asked to also submit a report using the on-line system.
Peer to Peer reporting
If you want to report a minor incident that you feel does not justify a full incident report then email the details to;
reports(at)thames-rrc.org (@ symbol replaced to prevent spam)
The details will be sent to the offending club and they will asked to responed.
