Accidents & Incidents, and First Aid

 

First Aid and Accident Policy

Please note that this policy is currently under review.  Please check back later.

Please see our Activities Policies (ausa.org.uk) page where you can find a list of policies which apply to our student activities 

 

Accident or Incident (including near misses)

In the event of any accident or incident (including near misses) whilst participating in any activity events, please complete the Activity Accident and/or Incident Reporting Form 2023-24

This can be for any occurrence, whether you are at a training session, social, or away on a trip or fixture. This form should be submitted for anyone at the event, whether AU student, Coach or visiting institution delegate.

This form should be completed with as much detail as is available at the time of writing within 48 hours of the incident. If any additional information is identified later, this form can be updated, or the information can be e-mailed to fixtures@abdn.ac.uk. This form should be completed even if you have completed an Aberdeen Sports Village or Third-Party Accident Form.

Serious accidents, at any AU  Facility or ASV, should be reported immediately to University Security by telephoning 01224 273327. An incident is regarded as "serious" if the injured person has gone to hospital as a result of the accident or if emergency services have been called. This form should be completed even if you have reported the accident to  University Security.
