MSQ Reports for IRB Injuries

In addition to completing an Incident Report for any marine incident or injury that occurs, clubs are required to complete a Marine Incident Report. This applies when specific events or incidents take place, which may include:

Boating Accidents: If there is a boating accident involving any club-owned or operated vessels, it is essential to follow the Marine Incident Reporting procedure. This includes incidents such as collisions, capsizing, grounding, or any other significant boating-related incidents.

Watercraft Collisions: In the case of collisions involving watercraft, whether they are club-owned or privately owned, the Marine Incident Reporting procedure must be followed. This applies to incidents occurring in open water, nearshore, or on the beach.

In-water Incidents: If an incident occurs in the water, such as a near-drowning, rescue operation, or any event involving a person requiring assistance or medical attention, it is important to complete an Incident Report and adhere to the Marine Incident Reporting procedure.

Environmental Accidents: If any environmental accidents or incidents take place, such as spills, pollution, or damage to marine habitats, it is crucial to follow the Marine Incident Reporting procedure. This helps to ensure that proper measures are taken to mitigate the impact and address any necessary clean-up or restoration efforts.
