Viewing Gear and Equipment

All users will have basic view access to the gear in their club(s). The default display is to show all categories.

  • You can use the Arrow Up/Arrow Down icons to display all the items in each category.

  • Once you open a Gear Category, you will see if any issues have been added to the gear in that category.

8.1 Gear Inspections                                              

Note: To conduct a gear inspection you need to have been awarded the Gear and Equipment Auditor

Award in SurfGuard, contact your State Lifesaving Manager who can coordinate the allocation of the award with the SLSA Helpdesk.

There are three variations of this Award

  • Gear and Equipment Auditor (State Endorsed)

  • Gear and Equipment Auditor (Branch Endorsed)

  • Gear and Equipment Auditor (Club Endorsed)

Depending on the Award assigned and the originating organisation, this will determine what access you will have to perform gear inspections.

For example, if a user has the Branch Award assigned and the originating organisation as Central Coast Branch, they will have access to perform gear inspections for all relevant gear in Central Coast Branch and all the clubs/organisations within the branch.
