What To Do in Case of An Accident Even companies with the best safety records know they need to be prepared and have a well-developed plan of action to follow should the unlikely event of a serious, or even catastrophic, accident occur. Being prepared means having immediate access to the necessary support to ensure that the best possible care is readily available. It also means making certain that all parties in the company know what to do and when it should be done. It is important to understand that there are laws in place regarding accident reporting and the availability of medical services and first aid. These regulations can be found under CFR 1904.3 “OSHA Reporting,” and CFR 1926.50 “Medical Services and First Aid.” To assist NATE members with developing their own accident contingency plans, the NATE Board of Directors and Administrative Staff have developed the following list of suggestions. This list is not intended to be an exhaustive compilation of all possible actions, but is intended to act as a guideline for member companies to develop their own plan of action. The items below are not presented in any particular order. Emergency Checklist 1. Check the injured individual(s) immediately and assess his/her condition. 2. Call the nearest Emergency Medical Services (EMS), if necessary. As per your company safety program, make certain that all crew members are capable of giving clear directions to the site, and that all crew members have easy access to the EMS phone number. Site directions and the EMS phone number must be easily and readily accessible to all crew members. 3. After calling the EMS, phone the home office and give them as much detail as time allows. An office representative will fill out the required forms. 4. The call to the EMS should also alert the local police, so expect them to arrive. If they do not arrive, you will need to call them so they can investigate the accident. 5. While the police are there, ask them to secure the site so that nothing related to the accident is moved by anyone. If you need more than 24 hours to conduct your investigation, ask the police to recommend a security service. 6. Before the EMS leaves, be sure that you have their company name and know where they are taking the injured individual(s). 7. The home office should appoint a temporary spokesperson. Only the spokesperson is allowed to make any statements. 8. OSHA and police officials have the authority to question witnesses. Only provide the necessary information and facts as you know them. Do not speculate. 9. If the police do not arrive to secure the site, then a company representative must remain there. 10. At the first opportunity, call the home office and give them a detailed report regarding who was involved and what happened before, during, and after the accident. The home office will advise you on the next steps to take. 11. Have all personnel who were at the site at the time of the accident write a detailed report regarding their location and actions prior to, during, and after the accident. 12. Take pictures of the accident site as soon as possible following the accident, making certain to include any equipment involved, the perimeter and entrance facing the accident scene, and close up pictures of any important items. This emergency checklist was compiled by the NATE Board of Directors and Administrative Staff. If you need further assistance following an accident, please contact the NATE office at 888-882-5865 (U.S.) or 605-882-5865. ■ JANUARY FEBRUARY 2015 TOWER TIMES 61
