Safety Reporting Policy |
Safety Reporting Policy Our policies require the reporting of all incidents and accidents including those which result in minimal or no actual injury but which had the potential of significant injury or fatality. This better enables the updating of our safety guidelines and the exchange of information. Identification of circumstances which might have resulted in significant injury or fatality, even though they were avoided, permit our establishing preventive guidelines for the future.
Training Scouts and Members to accurately, completely and calmly report accidents or incidents contributes to rapid response and minimizes errors in identifying the location help is needed. The use of accident or incident telephone reporting forms also contribute to ensuring complete and accurate information is being reported. Should an accident or incident involving injury occur, an investigation by a committee, composed of at least three persons who are not Scouts or Members of our Scout Programs will be undertaken. What You Should Do If There is an Accident: 1. If someone is seriously injured, dial 911, or otherwise contact emergency assistance. (Counselors should be aware in that in some areas of the country, 911 does not work, or may be only for rescue, not fire, etc. If you need to know the phone number of the local police, know it.)
