 HEALTH & SAFETY  

  FIRST AID 

Managers and Coaches are given Health & Safety information and protocols prior to each season.

 

FIRST AID

Each team is provided with First Aid supplies which can be replenished in consultation with the Clubs First Aid Manager or Equipment Officer via the Manager or Coach.

 

If an injury or incident occurs during training or play the Coach or Manager must fill in the College Incident Report. The College requests that this is done by the team officials, not a parent. The Stage Coordinator must also be made aware so the Club has visibility.
 

CONCUSSION​​

If a player has received a knock to the head at any time during training or play, use Play Cricket Concussion and Head Impact Guidelines to assess for systems of Concussion.
