SLSA has developed the Surf Risk Rating (SRR) which is a risk management tool that uses wave characteristics and environmental factors to assist in decision making.

If you are currently undertaking the role of Safety & Emergency Management Coordinator (SEMC) or ESO at carnivals and would be interested in gaining an understanding of the SRR, please contact your Branch to nominate for a course to be held 16 March 2019, 9am - midday at Bilgola SLSC.
