There Is an Accident
Although you hope the worst never happens, you must observe council procedures for handling
accidents and fatalities. At the scene of an accident, first provide all possible care for the sick or injured
person. Follow established council procedures for obtaining medical assistance and immediately
reporting the emergency. To do this, you must always have on hand the names and telephone numbers
of council staff, parents/guardians, and emergency services such as the police, fire department, or
hospital emergency technicians. Check with your council for emergency contact information.
