31 <br /> <br />First aid treatment is very common in an ice rink facility; therefore all personnel should be well versed in the <br />following procedures: <br /> <br /> Once an injury in the ice rink has been reported to an employee, they are required to first and foremost <br />protect themselves by putting on latex gloves before handling any patron. <br /> <br /> Skate guards are required to have general knowledge of first aid. The employee must treat the injury at <br />the injury location (if the patron has not moved on their own). This prevents additional contamination <br />of surfaces that must later be cleaned and disinfected. <br /> <br /> At this time, the skate guard determines the severity of the situation. Here is a guideline to determine <br />the severity of an injury: <br /> <br />o Does 911 need to be called? Any phone at the Orange County Sportsplex can be used to dial <br />911. <br />a. If the answer is NO, follow the non-emergency first aid policy as described below <br />b. If the answer is YES, follow emergency first aid treatment as described below <br /> <br />NON-EMERGENCY FIRST AID TREATMENT POLICY <br />Non-emergency first aid treatment is very common in an ice rink facility therefore all personnel should be well <br />versed in the following procedures: <br /> <br />Non-emergency first aid is first aid that does not require “advanced medical treatment”. This policy includes <br />minor cuts, scrapes, bruises, etc. An on-site first aid employee can handle these types of injuries. <br /> <br />If the patron is a minor, their parent or guardian must be present before treatment can be administered. Once <br />the injury has been treated the employee must complete an incident report form. The form in located at the <br />front desk or in the pool office. The report should be completed as accurately as possible, remembering that <br />too much information is better than too little. It is to be signed by both the employee and the injured party (if it <br />is a minor the parent must sign also). <br /> <br />Employees certified in First Aid/CPR need to be notified of any accident that cannot be handled by general <br />first aid. <br /> <br />EMERGENCY TREATMENT POLICY <br />Emergency first aid treatment is very common in an ice rink facility therefore all personnel should be well <br />versed in the following procedures: <br /> <br />Emergency first aid is first aid that does require “advanced medical treatment”. This policy includes, but is not <br />limited to the following: serious falls and collisions, head trauma of any magnitude, deep cuts, contusions or <br />abrasions, ligament or cartilage damage, back, neck, knee, shoulder, leg, elbows, eye trauma, broken bones, <br />sprains, etc. <br /> <br />Once an emergency injury in the ice rink has been reported to the skate guard, they are required to first and <br />foremost protect themselves by outing on latex gloves before handling any patron. Lifeguards need to be <br />notified of any accident that cannot be handled by general first aid. After the lifeguard is informed to contact <br />EMS, the skate guard can delegate a person to do this task, however, the injured party is not to be left <br />unattended for any reason. Keep the patron comfortable, but never move a victim without proper equipment <br />(i.e., backboard, etc.). <br /> <br />Hazard Assessment Plan <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 177AA06A-30B4-42FF-A85A-78B5A7C51DBE
