Event Coverage: A Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) will be available during home practice and games. The covering ATC will have access to emergency medical supplies located either beside the field of competition or in the training room of Spragins Hall. In the event that an emergency arises and no ambulance is present, one will be activated immediately.
Emergency Numbers: At the beginning of each season, each coach will be given current contact information and emergency numbers for all the UAH Sports Medicine staff. Each coach will distribute this information through normal intra-team communications so that each athlete has been notified of who and how to call the sports medicine staff. A complete list of all medical providers is located on the training room office wall.
Location of Phones: In the case of emergencies occurring at athletic practices or events held in Spragins Hall, the nearest cell phone or in the training room office will be used to make the emergency call. For emergencies occurring at athletic events being held off-campus, cellular phones of the athletic department staff will be used to make the emergency call (9-1-1).
Who Makes the Call: The covering ATC or coach will remain with the athlete at all times until emergency crews arrive. Call UAH campus police @ 256-824-6911 (x6911 from campus landlines) and they will dispatch all needed civic support and coordinate with them to arrive at the scene. This allows them to be at the scene and direct traffic as necessary.
One other individual should be designated to meet the ambulance and direct to the emergency scene.
Anytime emergency services are dispatched to a UAH practice or event, the athletic director, as well as the head and assistant athletic trainer, should be contacted immediately and notified of the incident.
