Accidents and First Aid
The College makes every effort to ensure measures are in place to control health and safety risks at the College. However accidents do happen and when they do the College has a procedure in place for reporting an accident/incident. Furthermore the College procedure requires that an investigation takes place and, if necessary, corrective action is taken to reduce the risk of a re-occurrence.
If you have an accident on the College premises please advise your lecturer/host, reception or a janitor, immediately. First aid treatment will be provided, if necessary.
If you have an accident outside the College e.g. on a college trip or excursion, or at another employers workplace whilst on work placement or whilst on College business, then please report it to your College lecturer/manager as soon as possible.
