SAFETY

The safety of our members on and off the water is our first and highest priority at WLARC and we strive to provide an environment in which our members can practise our sport safely and enjoyably. We recognise that our members have primary responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others. The Club, through its Officers and Committee, encourages safe practices, having due regard for the guidance provided by British Rowing in “RowSafe – Safety advice for rowers, clubs and competitions”.

The Club has safety guidance and rules that it expects its members to respect; these can be found below:

• WLARC Water Safety Policy
• WLARC Emergency Action Plan
• WLARC Incident and Near Miss Reporting
• WLARC Steering and Navigation
