Serious And Emergency Incident Management Plan (SIMP)

Central Bedfordshire Canine Trust Policy Serious And Emergency Incident Management Plan (SIMP) FORWARD Things do go wrong at events and the trust must ensure that it has assessed the risk and planned for such incident. This plan lays down a model framework for dealing with a serious incident at a trust event. Of course the implementation of the plan must be scalable with the anticipated size of the event. This serious incident management plan should be read in conjunction with the Central Bedfordshire Canine Trust main policy on media relations and social media. SERIOUS INCIDENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Any incident at a trust event that falls within the definitions of a serious incident must receive a proportionate response so that the injured receive attention and any safety issue is dealt with. We also must ensure the incident is recorded for future reference and records. A serious incident is defined below and will usually cause a lot of attention at the scene, and may well involve outside agencies being summoned to assist us. Serious Incidents also have the potential to cause some follow-up enquiries by the Health and Safety Executive after the event. Serious Incident Management is about ensuring the incident receives a correct balanced response and to ensure help is directed where it is most needed. The event organisers also have to ensure there is sufficient information gathering so that all relevant facts are known. A well controlled follow-up will ensure containment, with as fewer people being affected by the incident as necessary. We must ensure only those who need to be involved are involved and those who need to be informed are informed. Definition of Serious Incident For the purpose of trust events a serious incident will be defined as: 1. Any incident where a person is injured and requires medical treatment either at the event medical facility or taken to hospital. 2. Any incident where a dog is injured and requires treatment to the extent that it can no longer take part in event activities. 3. Any incident that causes a major disruption to any event activity. 4. Any unplanned or unintended incident which may become subject to public scrutiny or press attention. Issue 1 / 18 April 2011 Page 1 of 18

5. Any incident which MAY have caused serious injury to either a person or dog. 6. Any major failure of communication systems which could lead to control breakdown of the event of an incident. EVENT STAFF & STEWARD BRIEFING In this Serious Incident Plan we refer to a number of officials. As this is a model document covering the majority of trust events, we have given the current specific officials names. Each event will change slightly based on appointed officials and their availability. A full Serious Incident Contact Card will be issued to all those involved, for each event:- Role Description Currently Appointed Chief Executive Trust Chief Executive Gary Gregory (GG) Event Manager Press Officer Chairman Event Secretary The appointed event/show manager (normally Chief Executive) must hold Kennel Club Show Management Certificate The appointed press officer, who will provide media co-ordination. The appointed chairman of the trust, who is ipso facto the chairman of all events. The Events Secretary (normally trust membership secretary) Gary Gregory (GG) Tracey Stanbridge (TS) Patricia Gregory (PG) Jo Spencer (JS) Actions to be taken As the Event Manager and holder of a Kennel Club Show Management Certificate, Gary Gregory (GG) must be the first trust point of contact of any incident. This is the case be it injury or political error. In the event of a serious incident GG will consult with the Chairman, Patricia Gregory (PG) and the Event Secretary, Jo Spencer (JS) and will decide a course of action. GG will advise the Chief Executive on the known facts of the incident. It is vital that the Press Officer (TS) be advised as soon as possible so that a statement can be prepared, and/or a standard incident statement be released. This may involve communication with an outside press office such as The Kennel Club, Voluntary Action South Bedfordshire and/or the Media Trust. In the event a child or female is involved (PG) may be used in a caretaker role. (N.B. Gary Gregory and Tracey Stanbridge are CRB checked so can be called upon if necessary). Issue 1 / 18 April 2011 Page 2 of 18

Containment is vital to the handling of incidents of a physical nature, housing of dogs etc. Should an area be required for the housing of dogs or privacy of persons, space and allocation will be made in the event secretary s office. ON FINDING A SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE DO NOT TOUCH IT! Advise the Event Manager (GG) of your suspicions and he will take appropriate action. GG will also inform Chairman (PG) as and when this action has been taken. Enlist the help of ring stewards or trust officials to assist you whilst you are reporting your find. Advise the Event Secretary (JS) you have reported the incident so the Chief Executive can be made aware. DO NOT USE A RADIO OR MOBILE PHONE WITHIN 25 METRES OF THE PACKAGE. You should state where it is and a brief description of the package. You will be given specific instructions from the police and or event control room as to the action to be taken. SHOULD THE EVENT RECEIVE A THREAT You will be informed by the Event/Show Managers office via the use of mobile phones. You will be requested to carry out an area search of the locations you are responsible for. Please do so without panic or causing undue alarm. If you are forwarding instruction on to another member of the team, please do so without raising your voice or excessive arm waving. You will be requested to check your area and advise the Show Managers office once you have completed the check and your findings. GG will then collate this information and pass it onto the authorities. If you are assisting in an evacuation of a location please do so without raising your voice or excessive arm waving. Issue 1 / 18 April 2011 Page 3 of 18

ASSISTING WITH AN AREA EVACUATION If the persons are asking or insisting on entering any part of the event which has been evacuated, please ask them to wait until the all clear has been given. Avoid using phrases like, You are not allowed back into the area. Instead reassure them they ARE ALLOWED BACK INTO THE AREA ONCE THE ALL CLEAR HAS BEEN GIVEN. You may have to repeat the fact that persons will be allowed back in once the all clear has been given by all parties concerned. Call the assistance of a member of event team if the situation appears to be escalating. If you are assisting in an evacuation of a location please do so without raising your voice or excessive arm waving. Be prepared to evacuate yourself should the Event Manager (GG) instruct you to do so. IN THE EVENT OF A DEMONSTRATION OR YOU SUSPECT A DEMONSTRATION IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN YOUR AREA Those persons who are demonstrating are not necessarily committing an offence and therefore you should not take any direct action yourself. You should remain polite but refrain from getting into any conversations about their cause. You must contact the Event Managers Officer (GG) immediately and they will arrange for assistance to come to you. If you see another show official in close proximity to you, ask them to work with you as support. You are then able to back each other up should any issues arise. No person has the authorisation to speak to the press of public about the incident without the express authority of the Chief Executive (GG) and Chairman (PG). Any such announcements will be agreed by the Event Manager (GG) having gained the relevant information and advice necessary. Any enquiries regarding announcements or press comments during a serious incident should be directed to the Press Officer (TS). Issue 1 / 18 April 2011 Page 4 of 18

INJURY RESPONSE PLANS LEVEL 1 WHEN A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURS THAT IS DIAGNOSED AS LIFE THREATENING BUT NOT FATAL: 1. The Serious Incident Manager should manager the incident leaving other officials to oversee the show. 2. If a person who is not taking part in any show rings is pronounced dead at the show, you must then comply with the Level 2 Protocol Fatality outside the Show Rings. 3. If a person is pronounced dead on any part of Show Rings or any adjacent Public Viewing Areas, you comply with the Level 3 Protocol Fatality inside Show Rings or any adjacent Public Viewing Areas. 4. If death has not been pronounced at the event but in the opinion of the medical personnel on site it is very likely to do so, the SIM should immediately inform: a. The Chairman b. The Event Secretary c. The Chef Executive d. The Venue Management e. The SIP Team 5. For communication throughout the incident consider using: a. Mobile phones b. Separate Control Radio Network. 6. The incident should be fully investigated and therefore arrangements must be made to stand down any officials who are material witnesses until their accounts of how the incident occurred have been taken by the SI. Care must also be taken as they may well be in shock and require support and advice. 7. Arrangements must also be made to photograph the location and any relevant areas linked to the incident from as many angles as possible. 8. The SIM must also request the Event Secretary to have the relevant documentation photocopied in sufficient numbers of sets to ensure it is Issue 1 / 18 April 2011 Page 9 of 18

available to all the parties who will become involved in any follow-up. 9. The SIM should offer to appoint an appropriate person to accompany the person s connections to the hospital if they wish it to happen. This offer is purely that, it is not obligatory on the connections to agree. Neither is it obligatory on the connections to keep the trust updated with the developments at the hospital. It is however permitted that the person who accompanies the connections to keep the trust up to date with the developing situation from the hospital. This must be done with sensitivity and with discretion. The person appointed to accompany the connections MUST NOT be connected with the management of the incident or a witness. 10. The incident will be reportable to the HSE under the category or Serious Injury; therefore the SIM will agree the wording of the report with the Chairman and Chief Executive. 11. The SIM or Chief Executive will report the incident IMMEDIATELY in line with the reporting requirements. They will telephone the report through to the Central Reporting Centre on 0845 300 923 as soon after the facts have become clear and agreed. To report the incident they will require the following information: a. Date and time of the incident b. Location of the incident c. Event location including postcode d. Name of the injured person. Most of the information you require regarding a person taken to hospital can be found on the event entry form. A copy of this form must be obtained and kept as part of the injury record. e. Age of injured person [if they disclose it] f. Whether male or female g. What the injury is and whether confirmed or suspected. h. Which part of the body was injured and whether left or right side. i. Whether they became unconscious at any time during or after the incident. j. What exactly happened The reporting centre only works between 10:00 and 17:00 Mon to Fri and the alternative reporting method is online by logging onto www.hse.gov.uk/riddor. The screen will prompt you to click on the computer and then it will take you through to your next stage. Issue 1 / 18 April 2011 Page 10 of 18

12. Keep a photocopy of the investigation follow-up and other documentation sent to you by the HSE Central contact Centre. You will need to keep copies of these reports for at least ten years. 13. If the injuries later become fatal and death is pronounced by the hospital, the police will usually be informed by the hospital administration. The police will then attend the event to carry out an investigation. At that point the SIM will have to give full account of what actions have been taken following the incident and who they have spoken with. You should also handover copies of the relevant documentation whish should by now have been photocopied. The police will request the originals and this is within their powers to do so. 14. If you discover through other contacts that death has occurred, you are required to contact the Police and confirm the information has been received BUT THAT YOU HAVE NOT CONFIRMED that a death has occurred. The police will then confirm the injury status with the hospital and will then act accordingly. Again, you are required to give them copies of all the information you have, including any accounts of the incident you have taken from any witnesses. 15. In either case it is the duty of the event to contact the Central Reporting Centre to upgrade the report. Do not rely on the Police to do so as there may be a delay in their systems and that WILL leave you vulnerable to enforcement action for failing to report the injury under the RIDDOR regulations.

If a structure such as a trade stand has become unstable, do not allow anybody to enter. The incident may well be reportable as a dangerous occurrence. 7. Arrangements must also be made to photograph the location and any relevant areas linked to the incident from as many different angles as possible. 8. Any injury incident will be reportable to the HSE under the category of Fatal; therefore the SIM will agree the wording of the report with the Chairman and Chief Executive. 9.

It is possible to change the category on the database when all the facts have been confirmed. 10. The SIM or Chief Executive will report the incident IMMEDIATELY in line with the reporting requirements. They will telephone the report through to the Central Reporting Centre on 0845 300 923 as soon after the facts have become clear and agreed.
