Safety at Nottingham Rowing Club

While rowing is not intrinsically a dangerous sport, there are nonetheless daily actions that we can all take that minimise the risk of accidents occurring. This page provides links to our internal documentation, as well as links to external resources on the British Rowing website. Staying safe is all about taking care to avoid accidents.

Our Club Water Safety Adviser is Richard Willan – please see the Committee Page if you need to contact him.

Archive of monthly HRSA reports

Each month, the BR Honorary Rowing Safety Adviser (HRSA) publishes a report that highlights important safety issues, including descriptions of incidents that have taken place in the preceding month. These make interesting reading, and all members are encouraged to look through them. Although rowing is a safe sport, it’s informative to see what can happen on occasion.
