This season all clubs should have a First Aid risk assessment in place and next season the requirement for first aid provision increases markedly along with the requirement for an emergency action plan. A well written First Aid RA should include an Emergency action plan so getting it right now will save hassle later. If anyone needs assistance or guidance in getting this essential support tool in place contact rugbysafe@crfu.co.uk. As part of the Risk assessment there should be reference to injury reporting and CRFU have secured 15 licences of the excellent Proactive Injury Reporting App at cheap rate (£30) for Cornish clubs to buy. This is a valuable tool and will make enforcement of the mandated first aid risk assessment much easier for clubs. Again, any questions or requests for a demonstration to rugbysafe@crfu.co.uk
CRFU will be running a series of the well-received First Aid courses over the season. The following dates have limited spaces available : 10th October at St Austell & 17th October at Bodmin. CRFU are always looking to stage more courses so any clubs wishing to take advantage of this excellent course please contact rugbysafe@crfu.co.uk
