Each location shall establish a procedure to follow in case of an accident. All accidents occurring on archdiocesan property or at an archdiocesan-sponsored event off the property must be reported immediately to the person in charge and to the Insurance Department at the archdiocese. If appropriate, 911 should be called.
Each location should identify persons who are trained in emergency first aid procedures and ensure that the persons can be contacted readily in case of an accident that results in an injury.
When a student becomes ill or is injured, the parent or guardian will be contacted immediately. If the parent or guardian cannot be reached, another person listed on the emergency card will be contacted. Only minor and very basic first aid will be administered to students at school; no secondary treatment, such as changing or removing bandages, will be administered. Parents or guardians will be contacted immediately if there is any question regarding seriousness of or complications arising from an injury.
