Risk Management and Emergency Procedures - UNC Campus Rec

RISK MANAGEMENT
1. Release and Indemnity Agreement: Each member of a sport club must read, understand, and sign a UNC Sport
Clubs Release and Indemnity Agreement. Completed forms must be on file with the Sport Clubs Office. Forms
need to be signed by any members who participate in at least one club activity, and these forms should be
completed prior to any club participation. The Agreement includes a statement releasing the University of North
Carolina from any liability.
2. Personal Health Insurance: Participants are responsible for purchasing and maintaining their own personal health
insurance policy. By signing the Release and Indemnity Agreement, a participant acknowledges that he/she has
adequate medical insurance to coverage any injuries that may result from participation in sport clubs.
In addition, each individual on a club roster must complete a Sport Clubs Insurance Information form and a Sport
Clubs Consent for Release of Medical Information form and return them to the Sport Clubs Office.
3. Incident / Accident Reports: Should an injury or other hazardous event occur during any sport club event, an
Incident / Accident Report form must be completed and submitted to the Sport Clubs Office within 24 hours of the
event. This form can be found on the Sport Clubs Website, but club officers should keep extra copies with them in
case injuries or incidents occur when traveling or when a computer is not convenient.
4. CPR / First Aid Certification: At least two members of each sport club and any coaches must be certified in both
CPR and First Aid. CPR certifications are valid for two years, and First Aid certifications are valid for three years.
Copies of valid certifications must be on file and kept up-to-date with the Sport Clubs Office. CPR and First Aid
classes will be offered free of charge by Campus Recreation in both the fall and spring semesters. Individuals may
also be reimbursed if they take a certification class from an off-campus agency. It is the club member’s
responsibility to make sure that certifications remain current and valid.
5. Field and Equipment Safety: If there is a potential safety hazard regarding field conditions or unsafe equipment,
club members and/or coaches must notify the Sports Club Office immediately. Sport Club, Facilities and Utility
staff will work as quickly as possible to resolve any problems.
6. Additional Risk Management Strategies and Tips:
a. Anticipate every potential safety risk that could occur with your club and discuss with other club
members and coaches how the club should respond to the situation.
b. Familiarize every club member with where emergency phones are located and what the emergency phone
numbers are.
c. Know the exact location of your facility and how to direct emergency vehicles to that location.
d. Make sure all participants know which club members are certified in CPR and First Aid.
