In the Event of an Injury or Accident, we recommend the following course of action:

• Stay calm but act swiftly and observe the situation. Is there danger of further injuries?
• Listen to what the injured person is saying
• Alert the first aider who should take appropriate action for minor injuries
• In the event of an injury requiring specialist treatment, call the emergency services
• 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 incident/accident report form

Coach/First Aider should Complete a Incident/Accident Report Form.
