What needs to be completed after a significant incident has occurred, and EMS has been called?

After a significant incident occurs and emergency medical services (EMS) have been called, it is crucial to address various aspects surrounding the incident comprehensively. Documenting the incident is essential as it creates an official record of what transpired, crucial for both legal and operational purposes. This documentation should include details like the time, nature of the incident, actions taken, and the names of witnesses.

Informing facility management is equally important. They need to be aware of the situation to ensure proper communication and facilitate any further actions required, including managing public relations and ensuring the safety of the premises.

Providing follow-up support to the injured person is vital for their recovery and well-being. This support can include emotional assistance and guidance through the healing process, as well as ensuring that they receive appropriate medical care and follow-up services.

Completing all these actions demonstrates a thorough and compassionate response to the incident, reflecting the commitment of lifeguards and facility management to safety and care. Addressing the incident from multiple angles—documentation, communication, and support—ensures a holistic approach to incident management.
