Accidents and Incidents

At Profound Decision we expect all accidents and incidents, no matter how trivial they may at first seem, to be logged, reported and investigated so that we can do everything we can to prevent further issues.

In some cases, Profound Decisions also has a legal obligation to ensure that incidents, diseases contracted or made worse in the workplace and dangerous occurrences are reported to the Health and Safety Executive. This is under specific regulations, The Reporting of Incidents, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 2013.

Accidents and incidents can largely be broken down into the following categories: -

  • Any accident or injury to anyone attending the event reported to crew/refs or First Aid, however it may have been caused.
  • Any fire, property damage, gas leak, theft, or burglary.
  • Disturbance or violence involving participants, staff/volunteers, or both.
  • Incidents of participants not acting in a safe manner during simulated combat.
  • Medical diagnoses of staff/volunteers suffering from occupational diseases including carpal tunnel, syndrome, occupational dermatitis, and occupational asthma (these are rare and very, unlikely).

You must report any of these issues to your head of department immediately. They will take some details from you and report up the chain.
