Pre-departure

  • Ensure all participant travel documentation, Informed Consent forms, etc., are stored in the non-academic student-facing site.
  • The trip itinerary, including transportation methods, is forwarded to the Risk Committee.
  • *If you are travelling to locations where internet may be intermittent, or non existent, include relevant student emergency information on a secure, password protected USB.

Incident Response

  • Incidents that require reporting could include participant injury, absent or lost participant, long travel delays, medical emergency or breach of policy.
  • In the case of a medical incident, provide basic first aid while waiting for medical attention (ambulance or walk-in medical centre). Staff and faculty must not replace medical attention.
  • Emergency or disaster response must follow International SOS policy and practices. Any staff and faculty who receive requests for emergency response must immediately refer the person to ISOS then contact the CARE team.
