At the Auckland Dragon Boat Association, the safety of our paddlers and teams is our top priority. It's essential that all incidents, near misses, and injuries are promptly reported to ensure the wellbeing of everyone on the water.
If a member of your crew is injured, whether it happened during dragon boating or in general life, it's critical to notify your coach immediately. Even minor injuries should be reported to ensure the right steps are taken. Coaches play a key role in managing crew safety, and staying informed helps keep everyone healthy and safe.
If any injuries occur during dragon boating, please report them here: www.adba.co.nz/injury
All near misses and incidents - whether they seem small or significant - must be logged through the ADBA. These reports go directly to our Safety Officer, who will assess the situation and take any necessary action. The purpose of reporting is not to get anyone into trouble - it’s to collect important data so we can identify and mitigate hazards as quickly as possible, making the sport safer for everyone.

By staying vigilant and reporting all incidents and injuries, you’re helping to maintain a safe environment for our paddling community. Safety is a shared responsibility, and your proactive approach helps us address risks and keep everyone safe on the water!
