What is the purpose of the IRB operations log?

The purpose of the IRB operations log is to record usage and potential issues with the IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat). This log serves as a crucial tool for monitoring the operational aspects of the IRB, capturing detailed information about each instance the boat is deployed, including safety checks, maintenance needs, and any incidents that occur while it is in use. This documentation helps ensure that the IRB is functioning properly and can be relied upon for emergency responses, enabling effective management of resources and enhancing overall safety on the beach. By maintaining a comprehensive record, lifeguards can identify patterns or recurring issues that might require addressing, thus improving operational efficiency and safety measures over time.
