Safety EVERYONE - PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH OUR SAFETY PROCEDURES To: Managers/All Divisions From: Safety Officer --- Re: Medical Release Forms Please distribute medical release forms to each player on your team. Forms are to be filled out and returned to you prior to your first game. Any player who does not return a form to you prior to the first game is ineligible to play or practice. Forms should be accessible to managers/coaches during all games and practices. I appreciate your help in implementing this process to help insure the safety of our players. I ACCIDENT REPORTING PROCEDURE BLL What to report - An Incident that causes any player, manager, coach, umpire, or volunteer to receive medical treatment and/or first aid must be reported to the Division head or Safety Officer. This includes even passive treatments such as the evaluation and diagnosis of the extent of the injury by a physician. When to report - All such incidents described above must be reported to the Division head or Safety officer within 24 hours of the incident. (** See Division Head Phone numbers.) How to make a report -Reporting Incidents can come in a variety of forms. Most typically, they are Accident reporting forms found in first Aid kits, or phone call to division head and or Safety Officer. SAFETY PROCEDURES 1. IF Minor Injury Occurs. a. Apply Band-aid, Ice, Etc. b. Monitor between innings. c. Alert Parent at Pick up if needed 2. IF Serious Injury Occurs a. Stabilize Injured Player. ( Do Not Move If possible) b.

Travel Coaches If injury occurs at an away contest and you are the only coach utilize your first aid kit and if a visit to hospital is required, utilize another adult to bring injured player to Hospital, since you are responsible for your team also. Be sure to contact parent or guardian ASAP. ALL Coaches It is Imperative that you keep player medical release forms with you at all times (Players are INELIGIBLE without them) Follow up call to injured player is recommended. IMPORTANT FOR ALL COACHES Coaches need to notify Division Head of all Injuries Coaches must fill out the Activities reporting form found in FIRST AID KIT and return to DIVISION HEAD.
