Instructions

                    In order to distinguish the first aid kits, UBUC practise is to stow them in the zebra pattern .  They are on the  and stored in the bows clipped onto the grab lines.
                    Club members may be 
           involved in a number of accidents of varying seriousness
           minor burns e.g. from camping stoves, sprains, breaks, cuts, bruses, excess drink, sunburn , hypothermia , anaplatic shock , diabetes 
           and  jelly fish stings.
                    First aid can be challenging.  The training agencies offer some objective as guidence .  Asses a situation quickly and 
           calmly.  Protect yourself and any casualties from danger (e.g. remove wieght belts and casualties from water).  Comfort and 
           reassure casualties at all times.  Assess the casualty to identify the injury.  Give early treatement.  Arrange for appropriate help and stay with a
           casualty until care is available.
                    If the injury is serious enough for medical personnel to attend the emergancy services should be warned that the casuatly is a diver and that Entanox should not 
           be administered  

                    If an incident occurs then we have obligations to report it.  If
                    its something that could be the basis of a boat insurance claim our insurance conditions require notification of 
                    the insurers as soon as possible .  The BSAC also collects incident details with a 
                    view to making the sport safer  and as a student club we are also obliged to 
                    notify the union  within 24 hrs.
