TVOC Guidelines for dealing with an incident/accident

back to About TVOC

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/carer.

  • Complete an incident/accident report form and send this immediately to BOF. There is a BOF incident/accident report form which is available to be downloaded from the BOF website.
