Incident Recording
Using our simple forms, you can quickly record the key information of any accidents that take place on or off the premises.
The system automatically populates the date, incident number and who is reporting the accident, leaving the user to input the important details of the accident using the drop-down menus.
You can specify incident specific information such as:
Time the incident took place
Even if the incident is added later in the day you can still note down the time it took place, this can be useful if medication has been issued or a wound has been dressed for example.
The location where it occurred
This can be very important to know as if it becomes a recurring theme, that accidents keep happening in one location, then it starts to become a safety risk.
Injured area on the person
This is an important part of the form as it is crucial to know where the injury is on the person in order to be able to treat them accordingly.
Symptoms
This is also very important as this part details what the injury actually is, for example a cut or a dislocation.
How the accident occurred
This part of the accident form is where the user specifies how the accident happened for example, a fall/trip or hit by an object.
Treatment given at accident location
This is for any immediate treatment that is needed after an accident such as cleaning up a wound.
Treatment given in medical room
This is any treatment carried out in the medical room if a child is sent there to get a plaster for example or have their cut properly cleaned up.
Recommended next steps
Depending on the seriousness of the accident/injury the first aider can recommend what should happen next for example, simply return to their class or parent contacted and sent home.
Accident notes
There is also an accident notes boxes for any extra information you have about the incident.
Illness Recording
The illness recording module enables schools, nurseries and after-school clubs to record illnesses which have occurred for pupils, employees, temporary staff and visitors. In addition to this, the reporting module gives the ability to drill down into specifics such as illness type or particular dates if there’s an outbreak at school.
You can specify incident specific information such as:
Time the illness was reported
Even if you input the illness later in the day than it was reported you can still note down on the illness form the time it took place; this can be useful if medication has been issued for example.
Illness type (even if unsure)
This can be very important, even if the person reporting the illness is unsure of what it is, as even a vague idea of an illness can be a positive.
Illness symptoms
If the person reporting the illness isn’t sure of what it could be then this section is crucial, as adding symptoms the person is presenting with can help to narrow down what the illness could be.
Treatment given
This is any treatment carried out in the medical room if an ill child is sent there to get checked over for example or to take some medication.
Recommended next steps
Depending on the seriousness of the illness/potential the first aider can recommend what should happen next for example, parent contacted and sent home or sent back to class.
Illness notes
There is also an illness notes boxes for any extra information you have about the condition of the ill person.
