Fatal and Serious Injuries
Guidance for staff in the event of fatal and/or serious injuries
The Fatal/Serious Injury Incident Plan has been produced to enable managers to take immediate action to initiate the Council's response if a fatal or serious injury occurs to staff while they are undertaking their work duties, or the same occurs to other persons under their care.
A fatal injury is one resulting in death while a serious injury incident is one that results in life threatening injuries, or an incident involving multiple casualties with major injuries.
Major injuries are fractures, amputations, loss of consciousness, eye injuries or injuries requiring admittance to hospital for more than 24 hours.
