If a serious injury occurs, time becomes critical. Subsequently, the implementation of this EAP must be adhered to while in attendance at Hay Lakes School.

  • Assess the severity of person injured (particularly head and/ or spinal injuries) and decide if further assistance is required
  • If an ambulance is not needed, then decide what action is to be taken in order to remove the injured person from the location
  • If an ambulance is required, request assistance from another person by having them call an ambulance with all the relevant information (nature of emergency, location, and telephone number of location) and have this person report back to you with an estimated time of arrival. Send them to assess the entrance and wait for the ambulance.
  • Once the call has been placed, observe the injured for any change in condition. Reassure them until professional arrives.
  • Do not provide the injured with food or drink, unless indicated by the situation (ex.diabetes or dehydration)
  • Remain calm and speaking reassuringly
  • When the ambulance arrives describe the incident and what has been down
  • An adult should be designated to accompany the injured to the hospital to help and document the steps taken to treat the injury
  • The parent/ guardian of the injured minor must be contacted as soon as possible after the injury occurs
  • Document the event of the accident and file a written report if necessary with the appropriate school administrator.
