5. GUIDELINES FOR DEALING WITH INCIDENTS/ACCIDENTS

GUIDELINES FOR DEALING WITH INCIDENTS/ACCIDENTS
Stay calm but act swiftly and observe the situation. Is there
danger of further injuries?
Remove any potential danger without putting yourself or anyone
else in danger
Listen to what the injured person is saying
Alert the First Aider on duty who should take the appropriate
action for minor injuries. Remain with the First Aider to assist
them as required i.e. bring over equipment.
In the event of an injury requiring specialist treatment, call the
emergency services.
Assign someone to deal with the rest of the group and ensure
that they are adequately supervised.
Do not move someone with major injuries. Wait for the
emergency medics.
Contact the injured person’s parent/guardian.
Complete an accident report form with the First Aider.
Towcestrians encourage all age groups to ensure that there is a mobile
phone available within the coaching team to be used in case of an
emergency. If the accident/incident takes place at Towcestrians there is
a telephone in the kitchen that can be used to make 999 calls only.
