Which actions are part of the CS1 role in accident reporting and scene safety?

• A. Photograph the scene for records and file insurance claims.
• B. Only observe the scene and wait for supervisor.
• C. Ensure safety, provide basic first aid, contact supervisor, document facts, obtain consent for treatment, follow policy.
• D. Delegate all safety tasks to the athlete.

Answer: (C)

The key idea is actively managing accident scenes with safety and proper procedures in mind. The best approach is to ensure the area is safe, provide basic first aid within your training, contact a supervisor, document the facts as they happen, obtain consent for treatment when possible, and follow your organization’s policies. This combination protects the athlete and creates a clear, legitimate record of what occurred. Actions like photographing for insurance records, waiting passively for someone else to take charge, or leaving safety tasks entirely to the athlete miss the proactive, responsible role expected in CS1 and can raise safety or privacy concerns.
