5.3.8 Procedure in the event of an injured rider<br />

The management of an injured rider is under the control of the CMO and should<br />

be the following:<br />

A fallen rider must be reached by a Doctor or Paramedic who can begin treatment<br />

within 30 seconds of the rider coming to rest. If the rider is injured, the CMO must<br />

be informed by radio so that further procedures can be initiated. It is recommended<br />

that the CMO be stationed in Race Control with access to Closed Circuit Television<br />

to monitor the situation. Upon request by the CMO any Medical Vehicle can be<br />

dispatched to the scene of the incident, only the Race Director can authorize entry<br />

onto, or response via track. Similarly, interruption or cessation of racing or practice<br />

session can only be authorized by the Race Director. It is the responsibility of<br />

the CMO and Medical Director to advise the Race Director of incidences where<br />

access to a fallen rider(s) necessitates this.<br />

Response Codes are:<br />

Code 0 No medical intervention required<br />

Rider gets up unassisted<br />

Code 1 Short Rescue<br />

Rider able to walk with assistance<br />

Rider will be cleared from track in less than 1 minute<br />

Code 3 Prolonged Rescue<br />

Medical intervention required on track<br />

Transfer to the Medical Centre<br />

The injured rider will be transferred to the Medical Centre when his condition<br />

permits. The CMO shall decide the time and method of transfer. Rarely, at the<br />

discretion of the CMO only, a rider may be transferred to hospital directly from<br />

the trackside.<br />

The vehicle used to transfer the rider must be on scene of the accident with<br />

minimum delay following the order to intervene.<br />
