The Dorset Rough Riders Incident Policy is set out below for anyone who rides with us. It is a requirement of the Club’s insurance with British Cycling that all incidents/accidents involving club members or 3rd parties, i.e. members of the public, are reported within THREE DAYS of the incident. It is the ride leader’s responsibility to inform the committee of any accident/incident on the day of the accident/incident. For the purposes of this policy 'an incident/accident' is any event that requires hospital attendance/admission or seeking of medical care, e.g. broken collar bone, concussion. In the case of 3rd parties, this will require a judgement on the part of the ride leader. For instance, if a member of the public was knocked over, it would be prudent to report despite not being aware of a hospital attendance. Actions 1. Ride Leader a.
