the scene)<br />

• Complete an Incident / Accident report form.<br />

The User Group Leaders are responsible for administering any first aid requirements to participants. The<br />

location of the designated first aiders should be noted before commencing each activity. Emergency contact<br />

numbers are located in the Camp Booklet. Site Program Staff all carry UHF radios for communication<br />

purposes.<br />

emergency, the entire group should stop the activity and make their way as a group to the emergency<br />

evacuation area. In case of an injury requiring treatment; the group should stop the activity and be seated<br />

together nearby. Someone should be sent to obtain extra assistance if necessary. Camp site staff should be<br />

informed as soon as possible.
