The IRD is within SurfGuard and records all incidents and near-miss incidents for SLS members, staff and members of the public. Please note this does not replace any requirement to report critical incidents to external agencies such as NSW Maritime or Worksafe. Please review the SLSNSW Public Safety SOPs, SLSNSW website and relevant external agency websites to review reporting requirements.
The IRD data entered by SLS members over decades relies on the integrity of all present and future SLS members. You must maintain the data integrity to inform research, applications for grants, annual reports and the various strategies forwarded by SLS entities. You should check all data being entered or revised for accuracy before entering it into any online system.
