On the field
- If there is a suspected injury on the field, anyone may call a hold to <span class="revision"stopall fighting in the area and determine the proper course of action. The hold may be a local hold as long as the safety of the injured person can be maintained. In war combat with arrows, local holds cannot include helms being removed. A full hold to all combat must be called if helmets need to be removed.
- A marshal <span class="revision"should call for assistance if they suspect that someone is experiencing more than momentary distress. It is an extremely serious matter to delay first aid when it is needed, and marshals who ignore injuries may <span class="revision"have their ability to supervise combat suspended.
- In the event of an emergency, everyone must cooperate with any authorised persons responding to the emergency and keep the area clear of spectators.
- Do not enter the field to assist until given the go-ahead by a marshal, once combat has stopped.
Treatment
- If the injured person is conscious, they must be asked if they would like assistance. No conscious person shall be forced to accept treatment without their consent.
Reporting
- Serious injuries must be reported to your Kingdom Armoured Combat Marshal and the Earl Marshal within 24 hours of the incident and reported to the Society Armored Combat Marshal within 48 hours. Include all available details in the report. Serious injuries include:
- all injuries which require hospitalization or may require complex medical care
- any injuries that include a period of unconsciousness.
- Any incident involving calling emergency services to site must be reported to the Kingdom Seneschal immediately.
- Other adverse events must be reported to the Kingdom marshallate within 2 weeks and to the Society Marshal within 3 months of the incident. These include:
- injuries which resulted in bleeding, and/or which required a combatant to retire from the field, even briefly.
- near misses
- Documentation including the marshal's account, and images, are highly encouraged to provide the greatest detail for these records.
