ACCIDENT REPORTING PROCEDURE

What to report:

Any incident that causes any player, manager, coach, umpires, or volunteers to receive medical treatment and/or first aid must be reported to the Safety Officer. This includes even passive treatments such as the evaluation and diagnosis of the extent of the injury.

When to report:

All such incidents described above must be reported to the Safety Officer within 24 hours of the incident.   The Safety Officer can be reached by email or phone.  His contact information is on the Board of Directors webpage.

How to make a report:

Reporting incidents can come in a variety of ways. Most typically, they are telephone conversations. At a minimum, the following information must be provided:

●     The name and phone number of the individual involved.

●     The date, time, and location of the incident.

●     As detailed a description of the incident as possible.

●     The preliminary estimation of the extent of any injuries.

●     The name and phone number of the person reporting the incident.

Team Safety Officer’s Responsibility:

The TSO will fill out the Player Injury Report Form and submit it to the Safety Officer within 24 hours of the incident.  AIG Claim Forms can be found in the safety manual and on the website.

Accidents occurring outside the team (i.e., spectator injuries, concession stand injuries and third-party injuries) shall be handled directly by the league Safety Officer.
