World Sailing - regulation 38 incident reporting
Posted: Mon May 21, 2018 5:28 pm
Please see the following from World Sailing.
I have asked whether we continue to report to our MNA's as well as World Sailing or just to World Sailing. I will report back when I hear.
New Regulation 38 – Mandatory Reporting of Safety Incidents
World Sailing Council approved, during the recent 2018 Mid-Year meeting in London, the addition of Regulation 38. This new regulation requests that MNAs, Classes and Rating Systems report any safety related incident within 30 days of becoming aware of such incident, when it occurs at an event using the RRS within your jurisdiction.
The definition of an incident for this purpose is “an unexpected event resulting in death or injury to a person or an unexpected event that, in the opinion of the bodies listed in Regulation 38.1, is hazardous in nature and has the potential to harm a person or property.”
The mandatory reporting is in effect immediately and the bodies listed in the new regulation should cascade the information amongst their organizations in order to create a safety reporting and awareness culture within their structure.

This is the last step of the process initiated in the 2017 Annual Conference which aims to share best practice amongst Classes, Rating Systems and MNAs, as well as feeding the industry accurate information for the development of standards, future products and designs.
