What should you do if someone is injured on the range?

When an injury occurs on the range, it is critical to follow the emergency response plan and seek medical assistance immediately. This approach ensures that the injured person receives prompt and professional care, which is essential in preventing further complications and ensuring their safety.

The emergency response plan is specifically designed to outline the necessary steps to take in case of an injury, such as who to contact, how to manage the scene safely, and how to prioritize the well-being of the injured individual. By adhering to this protocol, range safety officers and personnel can effectively manage the situation while minimizing risks to others on the range.

Attempting to resolve the injury with first aid on your own, leaving the person until the session is over, or instructing them to walk off the range could lead to serious consequences. These actions may delay necessary medical treatment or exacerbate the injury, putting both the affected individual and others at risk. Therefore, engaging the established emergency procedures is the best practice for ensuring safety and effectively handling injuries on the range.
