Making Rowing Safer in Tasmania
Marine and Safety Tasmania (MAST) and Rowing Tasmania work collaboratively to help provide safety management information to the Tasmanian rowing community.
The Making Rowing Safer in Tasmania document is an important safety document and is available here and on the Rowing Tasmania website (About | Policies, Documents & Forms).
Rowing Tasmania encourages clubs, schools, coaches, rowers, and others in the rowing community to make the time to familiarise themselves with this document.
Safety on the water is everyone's responsibility!
