Queen's First Aid Event Coverage Request
Please read through all this information carefully as there is very important information regarding Queen's First Aid Coverage.
By continuing in the request process I understand and agree to the following:
1. Queen's First Aid will consider coverage of an event if:
i) it involves any or all of the following: over thirty (30) people attending, physical activity, alcohol being served and there is any first aid concern. and
ii) it is being held on Main or West Campus OR is being held off campus by a Department, Service, or Club of Queen's University. and
iv) it is a Queen's University/Alma Mater Society sanctioned event. and
v) Queen's Student Constables or Science Constables are present if alcohol is being served.
2. In order for Queen's First Aid to consider coverage of an event, this form must be submitted at least fourteen (14) days before the scheduled event. Requests made with less than fourteen (14) days notice will be covered only if resources are available. Queen's First Aid will be unable to provide coverage if request is received less than seventy-two (72) hours before the event.
3. If Queen's First Aid's coverage of an event runs for four (4) hours or more, event organizers are required to provide the Queen's First Aid volunteers with a meal .
4. Queen's First Aid is run and staffed entirely by volunteers who are unable to accept any remuneration for their services. However, should an organization wish to make a charitable donation, one may be made after coverage of the event is complete by contacting Kevin McGill, Director of Queen's First Aid.
5. Event Organizers are required to provide Queen's First Aid the name of a Sober Contact Person for the event. This person is responsible for coordinating with QFA Responders at the event and ensuring that they receive a meal (if the event contract calls for it—if event runs more than 4 hours). The Sober Contact must be available to guide QFA to a pre-determined post location and to instruct Responders prior to the start of the event. They are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who leave the event do so safely (including coverage of cab fare if necessary).
6. Submission of this form does not guarantee coverage of the event. The Director of Queen's First Aid reserves the right to make all final decision regarding coverage of an event.
7. Queen's First Aid Responders at an event, in conjunction with Student/Science Constables, and/or an Executive QFA Member may leave an event they are covering if, in their opinion, continuing coverage could cause injury/illness to the QFA Responders/Staff/Volunteers/Patrons, the event is too dangerous to continue, part/all of this contract is broken by the requesting party, or the request form was misleading in its description of the event.
8 . The Duties Coordinator of Queen's First Aid, Robyn Duffus, will contact you regarding receipt of this request. You will also be contacted at least three (3) days before the event to confirm coverage.
By continuing you acknowledge that you have read and understood all the information contained in this document.
